Tigers to play three ODIs against Afghanistan in November

Afghanistan will host Bangladesh for a series of three One Day International matches to be held in the United Arab Emirates in November as the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced the itinerary on Sunday.

The three-match ODI series will begin on November 6, with the 2nd and 3rd ODIs scheduled to be played on November 9 and 11 respectively. The exact venue is yet to be finalized.

These three ODIs along with three T20i matches and two Tests were originally part of Afghanistan's Future Tour Program (FTP) and scheduled for July-August this year. However, the series was postponed due to extreme heat in the UAE and India, where ACB usually hosts its home events.
Following extensive discussions, both boards have agreed to proceed with just the ODI leg, which will be crucial in both teams' preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February next year.

Bangladesh are now in India to play two Test and three T20i matches and will make trip to West Indies in November after playing the series against Afghans.
