Tigers to play four-nation meet in T&T

BCB XI will play more matches than previously scheduled on their tour of Trinidad & Tobago as Jamaica and Afghanistan confirmed their participations in the tournament in August-September.
BCB XI were initially scheduled to play a three-match T20 series against Trinidad & Tobago but it has been turned into a four-nation tourney with the inclusion of Jamaica and Afghanistan.
The Tigers are going to play enough T20 matches before the ICC Twenty20 World Cup to be held in Sri Lanka in September as Cricket Ireland (CI) also agreed to BCB's new proposal to play T20 matches instead of ODIs in late July.
“Ireland is ready to play the T20 matches but they want to play the last two matches in the Netherlands. We told them to keep one venue for all the matches and we are waiting for their reply,” informed Sabbir Khan, BCB's cricket operations committee manager.
Bangladesh will also play a tri-nation T20 tournament in Zimbabwe in June.
And the good news is that the Tigers are all set to play two more practice matches in Sri Lanka before their World Cup campaign.
“We have two practice matches as per scheduled before the World Cup but we requested the authorities concerned to arrange one match each against Ireland and Afghanistan who will reach the island on September 4 and we got positive feedback, so our team is going to play two more practice matches before the tournament,” added Sabbir.
The Tigers are in Group D alongside New Zealand and Pakistan in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup.
