The England men’s team will travel to Bangladesh for three One-day Internationals and T20Is each in March next year. It will be their first visit to the country since 2016.

The tour will get underway with the 50-over series. While the first two ODIs will be played in Dhaka on March 1 and 3, the final match of the series will take place on March 6 in Chattogram.

The three-match T20I series will begin on March 9 in Chattogram, with the final two games scheduled to be held in Dhaka on March 12 and 14.

“The England party are expected to play two warm-up fixtures ahead of the ODIs. The warm-up schedule will be announced in due course,” ECB said in a statement.

Clare Connor, ECB Interim Chief Executive Officer, said: “It is exciting that the England Men’s white-ball squad will return to Bangladesh for the first time since 2016. The atmosphere generated in Dhaka and Chattogram for this eagerly-anticipated tour will be fantastic.

“There is a great passion for cricket across Bangladesh, and we expect a tough challenge against a side who have an excellent record in home conditions.”
