All-rounder Shakib al Hasan joined the team as the Tigers began their training session in Lahore to prepare themselves for the two-match Test series against Pakistan.
Shakib joined the team straight from the USA, where he was with his family after ending his stint with Bangla Tigers Mississauga in the Global Twenty20 League in Canada.
His compatriot, pacer Shoriful Islam who also played for the Bangla Tigers, joined the side from Bangladesh.
The all-rounder's availability in the Pakistan series was in limbo following the fall of Awami League-led government, in which Shakib was a Member of Parliament.
However, ending all speculation, the Bangladesh selection panel named him in the squad and also announced that he would be available for the Tigers in all eight Tests this year.
Wednesday's training session in Lahore was Bangladesh's first on tour of Pakistan.
As there was turmoil in the country following the fall of the government, there was security concern surrounding the cricketers.
In the wake of the situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board proposed Bangladesh to arrive here earlier than the scheduled time.
The BCB responded to the proposal and outlined a practice schedule in Lahore.
Bangladesh will train in Lahore till Friday before they move to Rawalpindi, the venue of the first Test, Saturday.
The opening Test begins from August 21 while the second and final Test is from August 30 in Karachi.
Squad: Nazmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib al Hasan, Liton Das, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Nahid Rana, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed and Syed Khaled Ahmed
