Overview

• Bangladesh will host Ireland for two Tests in November, with the second match scheduled at Dhaka’s Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium on November 18–22.
• Ireland initially sought a single Test before agreeing to two following talks with the Bangladesh Cricket Board, according to a BCB official quoted by Cricbuzz.
• Mushfiqur Rahim, on 98 caps since his 2005 debut, is Bangladesh’s leading Test run-scorer with 6,328 runs, including an unbeaten 219 that remains the nation’s highest individual score.
• After the Tests, the sides will play three T20Is: Chattogram on November 27 and 29, then Dhaka on December 2.
• October brings a West Indies white-ball tour, and Bangladesh’s December–January FTP window is expected to stage the BPL ahead of the February T20 World Cup.
