Bangladesh was scheduled to play 14 Tests in 2024. There were also two Tests against Zimbabwe at home. But Bangladesh is not interested in playing the Test against Zimbabwe on the scheduled schedule. That series has been moved to next year. That is, this test series will be held in 2025.
The Zimbabwe cricket team will come to Bangladesh at the end of April to play a five-match Twenty20 series. There will be five matches between the two teams at the beginning of May. Two Tests were to be played in this tour. But with the World Cup scheduled in June and the back-to-back games before that, the board postponed the two Tests.
Jalal Yunus, director of the cricket board and chairman of the cricket management department, said, ‘We had such a plan earlier. Now it is only final. Now the T20 series is important. We have not canceled the Test series. Shifted to next year. It has been good for us.’
After the ongoing Sri Lanka series, Bangladesh will have to wait until July after the Test. Bangladesh will play 10 Tests in the last six months of the year. Bangladesh has test series against Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, South Africa and West Indies.
