Officials from the Bangladesh Cricket Board stated that before traveling to the West Indies in November, they want to play a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. Bangladesh will play two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is during their November–December visit to the West Indies.

In order to prepare for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, BCB plans to play three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) before their tour to the Caribbean. This is because, aside from the three ODIs against West Indies, they have not yet finalized any 50-over format games against foreign teams. Prior to the ICC T20 World Cup, BCB had stated that their all-format away series against Afghanistan, which included two Tests, three ODIs, and as many T20Is, had been postponed for July.

Later, ACB developed a fresh itinerary for the Bangladesh Cricket Board, which was later rescheduled. The original plan called for three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and as many Twenty20 Internationals to be played in Greater Noida between July 25 and August 6.

On Thursday, September 27, BCB president Faruque Ahmed informed reporters that the team’s goal is to play three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against Afghanistan en route to the West Indies. Ahmed expressed confidence that these matches will serve as a build-up to the Champions Trophy.

BCB president Faruque Ahmed stated, “We are trying to play three ODIs on our way to West Indies.” “We have discussed about it with the Afghanistan Cricket Board in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and we are aiming to play the series,” he said when questioned about the lack of ODI matches ahead of the Champions Trophy.

Naseeb Khan, the CEO of the ACB, reaffirmed on Friday that they are awaiting a final judgment from their counterpart. “We are in touch with them (BCB) but have to wait for a final answer,” said Naseeb adding that the series will be played in UAE in November.
