PCB wants one of the Test matches of the upcoming series to be played under lights.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sent a proposal to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play a day-night Test for their tour of Pakistan next month, reports ESPNCricinfo.

Karachi was the proposed venue for the match. 

Cricinfo's Pakistan correspondent Umar Farroq Kalson, twitted Sunday morning regarding the issue:

Bangladesh's away series will have two Test matches and three ODIs. However, BCB is awaiting security clearance and government directive before confirming Bangladesh's participation.

Bangladesh played their first day-night Test against India in November at Kolkata, which also happened to be the first day-night match in the subcontinent.

Pakistan have already played four Tests under lights, and are on the verge of hosting their first Test at home in over a decade against Sri Lanka later this week.

Bangladesh already sent their women's team to Pakistan to play an ODI series against the hosts in late October this year.
