The Bangladeshi cricket team toured Pakistan in April 2008 and played 5 one day internationals and a Twenty20 International.

The series was arranged at the last minute following Australia's decision to pull out of their scheduled tour of Pakistan for security reasons. The tour of Bangladesh Team was very hard luck this time as they could not win even a single match. This series lifted Pakistani Cricket Team in International Cricket Ranking.
