Bangladesh fast bowler Mushfiqur Rahim's tweet became the attraction on Twitter recently. On Wednesday, the pacer posted a picture with his teammates before leaving for Pakistan but the caption is what grabbed eyes.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had agreed to tour Pakistan. The tour will take place in three phases: three T20Is in January, one Test in February, and an ODI and a Test in April.

The security concerns in Pakistan is the major reason teams don't tour to the country. Even in the Bangladesh side, five members have pulled out of the tour. Mustafizur's tweet looked more like a dig at Pakistan's security. “Heading to Pakistan. Remember us in your prayers," he tweeted. The fans were in splits after reading the tweet. 

Here are the squads of both teams:

Pakistan T20I Squad: Babar Azam (c), Ahsan Ali, Amad Butt, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan, Musa Khan, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Usman Qadir
