Bangladesh is planning to play a short home series against Nepal or the Netherlands ahead of the Asia Cup this year.
A board official said they are considering playing the series against one of these two teams.
The national team is currently on a break after back-to-back series wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
However, concerns have been raised about whether such a long gap before the next major tournament could disrupt their momentum.
“We’re trying,” said Nazmul Abedin, the BCB’s cricket operations chief. “It’s hard to get a major team at the moment because of their schedules. Nepal or the Netherlands are possibilities.”
Asia Cup Cricket to be held in UAE from September 9 to 28: ACC Chief
Bangladesh were supposed to host India next month for six white-ball games, but the tour has been pushed to September next year due to delays in official clearance from the Indian government.
Now, with that window open, the board is hoping to bring in a team for a few matches—ideally at home.
If that doesn’t work out, the national side may play practice games against the A team or the High Performance unit. A short training camp is also being planned.
Meanwhile, the chief of the ACC has announced the dates for the Asia Cup—from 9 September to 28 September.
