Bangladesh will play a tri-nation series in New Zealand ahead of the T20 World Cup this year, informed Bangladesh Cricket Board’s cricket operations committee chairman Jalal Younus.
Along with the host nation New Zealand, the third country will likely be Pakistan.
“We will go to Australia a bit early as part of the T20 World Cup preparation. A 10-day camp will be held in Adelaide. We will play some practice matches against the Redbacks there. Then we will play a tri-nation T20 tournament before the T20 World Cup. Probably it will be held in Christchurch,” said Jalal to the media in the port city yesterday.
"Each side will play a minimum of four matches in New Zealand. The third team may be Pakistan, but it hasn't been confirmed yet," he concluded.
Bangladesh will directly play the Super 12 stage of the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will start from October.
