The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has officially announced that Afghanistan will host Bangladesh for a three-match One Day International (ODI) series in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) later this year. The series is set to take place from November 6 to November 11, with the exact venue to be confirmed soon.

Originally scheduled for July-August, the series was postponed due to extreme heat conditions in the region. However, following Afghanistan's impressive 2-1 series victory against South Africa, the ACB has rescheduled the matches, highlighting their significance in the lead-up to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan.

In an official press release, the ACB stated, “The three-match ODI series will begin on the 6th of November, with the 2nd and 3rd ODIs scheduled to be played on the 9th and 11th of November, respectively, in the United Arab Emirates. The exact venue is yet to be finalized.

These three ODIs, along with three T20Is and two Tests, were originally part of Afghanistan’s Future Tour Program (FTP) and scheduled for July-August this year. However, the series was postponed due to extreme heat in the UAE and India, where ACB usually hosts its home events.

Following extensive discussions, both boards have agreed to proceed with just the ODI leg, which will be crucial in both teams' preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy, which is set to take place in Pakistan in February next year.”
