Pace bowlers Naseem Shah and Mir Hamza bowled Bangladesh A for 122 runs on the first day of a four-day first-class match on Tuesday.
Pakistan will play nine Test matches during the season, while Bangladesh will also play two WTC Test matches in Rawalpindi on Monday.
After the start of the game was delayed due to dampness in the outfield, Pakistan Shaheen captain Saud Shakeel put Naseem and Hamza in the batting order, but the visiting Bangladesh A batsmen were unable to deal with Naseem and Hamza.

Mahmudul Hasan Joyman scored 65 runs to stifle Pakistan’s attack while other bowlers added power to their bowling and provided some help to the pace bowlers.
Naseem returned to the red-ball format shortly after suffering an injury in the Asia Cup last year. He bowled with venom and took figures of 3 for 24, while his new bowl partner, left-armer Hamza, took 3 for 33 and Muhammad Ramiz Jr took two wickets.
A day’s play that was already curtailed by poor light ended early, with Pakistan Shaheens trailing 2-0 with Sime Ayub and Muhammad Hurairah in the crease.
