Bangladesh will play a three-match, one-day international series against Afghanistan in the United Arab Emirates in early November.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board on Sunday confirmed that the ODIs will be played between November 6 and 11.Â
The ODI series will begin on November 6, with the second and third ODIs scheduled to be played on November 9 and 11, respectively. But the exact venue is yet to be finalised.
Bangladesh were originally supposed to play three ODIs, along with three T20Is and two Tests under the Future Tour Programme of the ICC and scheduled for July-August this year.
However, the series was postponed due to extreme heat in the UAE and India, where ACB usually hosts its home events.
‘Following extensive discussions, both boards have agreed to proceed with just the ODI leg, which will be crucial in both teams’ preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy, which is set to take place in Pakistan in February next year,’ ACB said in a statement on Sunday.
Last week, Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed said that there was discussion about the series with the ACB during the Asian Cricket Council’s meeting in Kuala Lumpur.Â
After the ongoing India tour, Bangladesh will host South Africa for a two-match Test series in October.
The Tigers will tour the West Indies for two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is in November-December.Â
