Afghanistan U-19s land today

The Afghanistan Under-19 cricket team is scheduled to arrive today to play five youth ODIs against their Bangladeshi counterparts.

All five matches will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, with the first game scheduled for September 28. The visitors will leave Bangladesh on October 8.

The Bangladesh youth team have already started training in Sylhet ahead of the series.

Earlier, skipper Saif Hasan informed that his side were looking for a whitewash.

The series against Afghanistan is a part of the Bangladesh U-19 team's preparations for the upcoming ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand next year. Bangladesh will also take part in the youth Asia Cup later this year in Malaysia.
