Lahore, 25 October 2019: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will live-stream all five women’s internationals between Pakistan and Bangladesh, which gets under way from Saturday, on its Youtube channel.
It will be an eight-camera coverage, with commentary panel including former internationals Mujahid Jamshed and Yasir Hameed (T20Is only) and experienced voices of Hassan Cheema, Mohammad Salman, Tariq Saeed, Raja Asad Ali Khan and Shamsa Hashmi.
