Zimbabwe likely to tour BD in Nov

block

Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) principally agreed to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh in November this year which was originally slated for January 2016. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan said this at a press conference on Wednesday, “They have principally agreed to play in November.””We haven’t decided on the schedule yet, the two boards will discuss over the schedule on the sidelines of the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai later this week,” Hasan continued. Zimbabwe were originally scheduled to tour Bangladesh in January 2016 for two Tests, three ODIs and two T20Is.”Now the three-match ODI series and two T20s that were scheduled in the Zimbabwe tour will now be played in January,” Hassan said. However, BCB is likely to change the venues for the two Tests to Dhaka and Chittagong from Sylhet and Khulna, where it was scheduled to be held. This revised schedule appeared as a sigh of relief for BCB as they faced the possibility of no international cricket for this year’s remaining time following the postponing of the two-Test Australia tour to Bangladesh recently due to security concerns.
