India's Upcoming Cricket Tour: What to Expect from the Bangladesh Series
India Set to Tour Bangladesh for Exciting White-Ball Series
India is set to embark on a tour of Bangladesh for a thrilling white-ball series that includes three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). This series is scheduled to take place from August 17 to 31, with matches held in Mirpur and Chattogram, as confirmed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday.
The Indian squad will land in Dhaka on August 13, gearing up for the first ODI on August 17 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. The final ODI will occur in Chattogram, which will also host the opening T20I match on August 26. The series will then return to Mirpur for the subsequent T20I matches.
This tour marks India's first exclusive white-ball series in Bangladesh since 2014. Additionally, it will be the inaugural occasion for Bangladesh to host India for a bilateral series on home soil. The last T20I series between the two nations was in 2024, where India triumphed with a 3-0 victory during Bangladesh's tour.
BCB's chief executive, Nizam Uddin Chowdhury, expressed his enthusiasm about welcoming one of the leading cricket teams globally. He stated, "This series is set to be one of the most thrilling and eagerly awaited events in our home calendar. India has established a high standard in international cricket across all formats, and cricket fans in both nations are sure to relish this matchup. Bangladesh and India have engaged in several competitive encounters recently, and I am optimistic that this series will be another intense and entertaining contest," as reported by ESPNCricinfo.
