The Ireland cricket team arrived in Sylhet Sunday to play three ODIs and as many T20Is and a Test against the Tigers in different venues across the country.  

The series is scheduled to take place from March 18 to 28.

"They have won the majority of their series for several years. So, it will be challenging and testing (for us) as it is a long tour," Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie told the official website of Ireland cricket ahead of taking the flight to Bangladesh.

The ODIs will be played at the Sylhet International Stadium; the T20Is will be held at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

The Test match will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on April 8.

This Test match will mark Ireland's first such match of the format in Bangladesh.

Before this series, Bangladesh had played Ireland in 10 ODIs, winning seven of them. They also faced Ireland in five T20Is, winning three matches.
