Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal issued a warning to the Pakistan National Cricket Team ahead of the Test series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team. He said that the opposition bowlers will trouble the Shan Masood-led side in the series.

The Test series between the Pakistan National Cricket Team and Bangladesh is just three days away now. The first game between the teams will be played on 21st August in Rawalpindi, followed by the second match at the same venue on 30th March, earlier scheduled to take place in Karachi.

The Test series between the teams will also be part of the ICC World Test Championship and both the teams would be eager to get some crucial points under their belt. The surface for the first game is expected to be pace-friendly as the hosts have asked curators to prepare a green track.

With the first match set to be played on the green track, it is expected that there will be a massive competition between bat and ball. Both the teams have some quality pacers in their ranks, and it promises to be an enthralling game of cricket with WTC points on the line as well.

Pakistan National Cricket Team would be the favorite to win the series. This is because they will be playing at home and will be more aware of how conditions will play. But they cannot write off the Bangladesh National Cricket Team as well, who have been playing a decent brand of cricket of late.

The pace attack of the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led side has some exciting names and also Taskin Ahmed has made his way back. With Pakistan batters struggling to get going of late, the visitors can surely have their moments in the game and might even pip the opposition.

Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal is also aware of the fact that it won't be easy for the Shan Masood-led side with the bat. He stressed that visitors have quality fast bowlers, and it won't be as easy for Pakistan batters as they think. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained:

"Dare your batsmen. It won't be as easy for you, Bangladesh's bowling attack, especially fast bowlers, it's not that easy. They also have fast bowlers with 135-140 kmph speed. It won't be as easy as you think"

The upcoming series against Bangladesh will be the second series for Shan Masood after being named captain last year. With the Bangladesh National Cricket Team series all set to take place at home, he will have a great opportunity to register his first win as the Test captain.

He earlier captained the Team in the Test series against Australia. However, the series didn't go the way he would've wanted as Pakistan suffered a 3-0 thrashing down under. It remains to be seen how he will go about the business this time around.
