The Bangladesh cricket team is likely to play international cricket in the USA for the first time during their tour of West Indies in June-July this year.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) sources confirmed yesterday that they have received a draft schedule of the tour, in which the West Indies Cricket Board drafted two T20Is in Florida.

Bangladesh will also play two Tests and three ODIs in the West Indies.

International cricket is nothing new to the USA as New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies and India played T20I matches at Lauderhill since 2010.  The last match in Florida was played between West Indies and India in August 2016.
