Afghanistan’s national cricket team is expected to face Bangladesh in a three-match One Day International (ODI) series in November, as both teams prepare for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, according to officials from both cricket boards.
Bangladeshi media reported that the national team is scheduled to tour the West Indies for a full series in November and December, which will include two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20 Internationals. Ahead of that tour, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials are exploring the possibility of staging the ODI series against Afghanistan at a neutral venue.
“We are trying to play three ODIs on our way to the West Indies,” BCB chairman Faruque Ahmed was quoted as saying, adding that discussions had taken place with officials from the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) during a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
ACB Chief Executive Naseeb Khan confirmed to Cricbuzz that the series is being considered, but they are awaiting final confirmation from Bangladesh. “We are in touch with them (BCB) but have to wait for a final answer,” Khan said. He added that if confirmed, the series would likely take place in the United Arab Emirates in November.
