The tour will comprise of 5 List A matches (50-overs) & 3 T20 matches. The 50-overs matches will be played on August 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th, 2018 and the T20 matches are scheduled for August 13th, 15th and 17th, 2018. The venues for the matches will be announced at a later date.
Ireland Wolves travelled to Bangladesh in Oct 2017 and played a 4-day match and 50-overs series against the “A” side and this tour by Bangladesh will again provide good opportunities for non-regular Ireland senior players along with Senior Academy & Inter-provincial players to play against top ranked opponents.
Cricket Ireland sees this as an opportunity to groom potential future players for Ireland’s national team as part of their succession plan.
