Ireland to make Test return against Bangladesh in early April

DHAKA: Ireland and Bangladesh cricket teams will play their first-ever Test match in Dhaka on 4-8 April.

Ireland’s month-long tour will include a warm-up fixture, three ODI games and three T20 internationals before the Test in Dhaka.

The Ireland squad will travel to Bangladesh on 11 March, four days before they face a yet-to-be announced opponent in the warm-up game.

The ODI fixtures will take place in Sylhet while the T20 games are set to be held in Chattogram.

Ireland’s only previous visit to Bangladesh for a bilateral series came in 2008 when they played a three-match ODI series in Dhaka.
