Following the disappointment of their respective T20 World Cup campaigns, attention returns to the Test format for Pakistan and Bangladesh, with both sides needing victory as they languish in the bottom half of the World Test Championship table.

The upcoming series will mark a new era for Pakistan following the appointment of Jason Gillespie as the new red-ball head coach, who succeeds Mohammad Hafeez following his unsuccessful interim spell.

Shan Masood will captain his first Test match on home soil and the opener arguably couldn't have picked a kinder assignment given Pakistan's impeccable record against Bangladesh.

The hosts have never lost a Test match against the Tigers and they're priced at 4/5 to record a 2-0 series win.

With both Test matches to be held in Rawalpindi, the surface favours pace bowlers and Pakistan have opted for an all-pace attack as they look to exploit a Bangladeshi batting order that's devoid of confidence.

The talismanic Litton Das struggled to find his best form at the T20 World Cup and in the Test series against Sri Lanka in March, the 29-year-old averaged 16.75.

Pakistan bowler Naseem Shah will be one to observe as he marked his return to action with four weeks against Bangladesh A last week. Bangladesh will all be too aware of his threat, with Shah recording a hat-trick on debut during their previous tour of Pakistan.
