HIGHLIGHTS
- Afghanistan will tour Bangladesh for 3 ODIs, 2 T20Is in February-March
- Afghanistan squad is scheduled to reach Dhaka on February 12
- Chattogram will host ODI series and Dhaka will stage T20Is
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Friday said that Afghanistan will tour Bangladesh for three ODIs and two T20Is in February-March this year. However, BCB did not confirm if crowds will be allowed into the stadiums as the rise in Covid-19 cases last month forced the BCB to stage the BPL behind closed doors.
Afghanistan’s scheduled Zimbabwe tour was postponed as the host board could not arrange the required broadcasting services needed for the Decision Review System (DRS). The series was originally scheduled for December but was postponed following the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant in Zimbabwe.
The Afghanistan squad is scheduled to reach Dhaka on February 12 and train in Sylhet before traveling to Chattogram, which will host the one-day series from Feb. 23, the BCB said in a statement on Thursday. Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium hosts the Twenty20 matches on March 3 and 5.
The ODI series will give both Bangladesh and Afghanistan another chance to boost their positions in the Super League points table. Afghanistan are currently placed fifth, having won all the six matches they have played so far. As for Bangladesh, they are second with eight wins in 12 games.
