The Bangladesh Cricket Board has confirmed that England Men will play three ODIs and three T20Is against Bangladesh in March 2023.

The tourists will play international matches in Dhaka and Chattogram for the first time since 2016.

The tour will begin with three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), the first two of which will be played at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) on Wednesday, March 1 and Friday, March 3.

The series finale will be played on Monday, March 6 at Chattogram's Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS).

The Tigers vs The Lions are set play their first ever bilateral T20I series as the three-match series starts on Thursday 9 March at ZACS in Chattogram. The final two matches are on Sunday 12 March and Tuesday 14 March at SBNCS, Dhaka.

“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,” Clare Connor, ECB Interim Chief Executive Officer said.

“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” he added.

The last time both teams played each other in 2016, England won the ODI series 2-1.

England are likely to arrive in Bangladesh around February 20. They are scheduled to play two practice matches before the ODI series begins.
