The Bangladesh cricket team are set to play in the United States of America in August in a tri-nation series featuring Pakistan and West Indies, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Najam Sethi told Dawn.

He also admitted that West Indies will be touring Pakistan at the end of March to play a 3-match T20I series in Lahore. This series was supposed to be played in November last year, but a thick smog in Lahore coupled with some major West Indies players’ commitment to the Bangladesh Premier League forced the series to be postponed.

Najam Sethi revealed that the tri-nation could happen in the venues in Florida and Houston. This will be the first time that the Tigers will play in the United States of America while representing the national team.
