Afghanistan will host Bangladesh for a white-ball series, which will be played in the United Arab Emirates in October, shortly after the Asia Cup. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed this on Sunday.
Bangladesh’s white-ball tour will comprise three T20Is and an equal number of ODIs.
The first T20I will be played on 2 October, followed by the next two matches on 3 and 5 October, respectively. Two days later, the ODI series will begin, with the first game on 8 October and the remaining two matches scheduled for 11 and 14 October.
“We look forward to taking on Afghanistan in what promises to be a competitive and exciting white-ball series in the UAE,” Nizamuddin Chowdhury, the BCB CEO. “This tour not only presents valuable competition following the Asia Cup but also reflects the mutual respect and strong relationship between our two cricket boards. I would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Afghanistan Cricket Board for hosting the series and for their continued spirit of collaboration.”
Naseeb Khan, CEO of the Afghanistan Cricket Board, said: “We are proud to host Bangladesh in this highly anticipated series. This tour highlights the strength of our partnership and our joint commitment to delivering world-class cricket experiences, even in neutral venues. Fans can look forward to exciting matches and top-level competition.”
Both teams are scheduled to meet in the Group ‘B’ match of the Asia Cup on 16 September.
Afghanistan will be well-versed in the conditions of their adopted home in the UAE. They will play a tri-series against the UAE and Pakistan before the Asia Cup. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be in action at home in a three-match T20I series against the Netherlands.
