KHULNA: Bangladesh have scored 60 runs on loss of one wicket against Pakistan in first test match after the Bengal tigers captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and elected to bat at the Sheikh Abu Naser stadium in Khulna on Tuesday (today).
The both teams have handed Test debuts to new players Soumya Sarkar and fast bowler Mohammad Shahid, from Bangladesh while Pakistan picked uncapped batsman Sami Aslam for the opening match of the two-Test series.
