The much-anticipated ODI series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan has been officially confirmed, with the matches set to take place in November 2024. The three-match series will be hosted at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE, a venue known for its rich history and exciting encounters.

Speculation had been swirling for some time about the series, especially after BCB President Faruque Ahmed hinted at efforts to finalize the arrangement. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has now officially released the schedule, bringing clarity to fans and players alike.

The series opener is scheduled for November 6, followed by the second ODI on November 9, and the third and final match will take place on November 11, all at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

The Bangladesh cricket team is currently on a busy schedule, engaged in a series against India, which includes two Tests and three T20Is. After the India tour, Bangladesh will return home for a two-match Test series against South Africa. Following the home series, the Tigers will head to the UAE to face Afghanistan. Bangladesh’s year will conclude with a tour to the West Indies.

Looking ahead to 2025, both Bangladesh and Afghanistan are set to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan in February-March. Matches between these two teams are known for their intensity, with Afghanistan recently defeating Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup to secure a spot in the semifinals. However, Bangladesh had the upper hand in their 2023 ODI World Cup clash, cruising to victory over the Afghan side.
