The series was originally scheduled to take place immediately after the last T20 World Cup. But the series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan was postponed due to a busy schedule. A few days ago, the Afghanistan Cricket Board informed that Bangladesh will face the Afghans in the away series. The two teams will play a three-match ODI series from November 6.

Shakib

The Afghans will be the home team for the three-match series. Although the game will be played at a neutral venue. All three matches will be played at the Sharjah Stadium in the United Arab Emirates. As the upcoming series is an ODI edition, the question arises whether Shakib Al Hasan or not. However, he could not come to the country to play his farewell match in the ongoing Mirpur Test format. His return to the country was delayed due to security concerns.

The selection committee of BCB was contacted to know whether Shakib will be in the upcoming ODI series or not. In response, a selector told Dhaka Post, "If BCB informs about Shakib's presence in the team, we will keep him."

Warner agreed to retire, what's the point of waiting?

Meanwhile, although the venue is not confirmed, the date of the series has been announced for the time being. There will be three ODIs on November 6, 9 and 11. BCB said that it will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but in the end, this ODI series is being held at the current home venue of Afghanistan in the United Arab Emirates. The Afghans have already announced a 19-man squad for the series.
