Dhaka – With the T20 World Cup next year,
Bangladesh set to host Afghanistan and Zimbabwe for a T20 tri-series in
September, a BCB official confirmed Agency on Thursday.
BCB official said
the event is set to be held between September 14 and 23. However, the venue of
the event is yet to be announced.
Zimbabwe toured
Bangladesh last year for an ODI tri-series involving the hosts and Sri Lanka.
They went back without a win. The African nation also failed to qualify in the
ongoing ICC Men’s World Cup.
They are now in
more trouble as Zimbabwe government has suspended the cricket board recently
due to irregularities and created a government body to run the board. In this
circumstance, playing a tri-series in Bangladesh will help them step forward.
On the other hand,
Afghanistan will tour Bangladesh with a good memory of beating Bangladesh 3-0
in the last T20 series in 2018 in Dehradun, India.
In the series
opener on September 14, the two touring sides will take on each other. In the
next two games on September 15 and 18, Bangladesh will lock horns with
Afghanistan.
On September 20,
Afghanistan will take on Zimbabwe again. The final game will take place on
September 23.UNB
