Bangladesh To Play White Ball Cricket Against Afghanistan In October
Updated - 19-JUL-2025 5:22 IST

On 19 July, the Bangladesh Cricket Board is planning to tour in white ball cricket against Afghanistan in early October in the UAE. Three T20Is will be played in this tour plan.
Both teams see this series as a vital build-up to the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, which will be played in India and Sri Lanka.
Early Tour Of Both Teams Postponed
In July 2024, Bangladesh was originally scheduled to travel to Afghanistan, playing three ODIs, three T20Is, and two Test matches. Bangladesh requested that the tour be postponed because of workload problems. Due to scheduling and weather issues, a later plan for a white-ball series in Greater Noida in July and August of 2024 was also canceled.
Both teams met each other last time
Both teams played a three-match ODI series in the United Arab Emirates in November 2024, with Afghanistan winning 2-1. Now that the leg is over, the focus is on rescheduling the remaining T20I series.
Official decision pending
While there are no formal match dates or locations specified, it is generally agreed that a three-match series set up in the United Arab Emirates in the first part of October 2025 will take place after the Asia Cup 2025, which will start from September 12 in India and UAE.
