Bangladesh will play a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, confirmed by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) on Sunday.

ACB will host the Tigers in UAE, with the first match on November 6, followed by the second and third ODI on November 9 and 11, before they fly to West Indies for an all-format tour.

Bangladesh are scheduled to play two Tests, three ODIs and the same number of T20Is against the Caribbean in November-December.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) were in talks with the Afghanistan board to arrange an ODI match as a preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy, next year.

Bangladesh were scheduled to play an all-format away series against Afghanistan comprised of two Tests along with three ODIs and as many T20Is in July following the ICC T20 World Cup.

However, the series was rescheduled as BCB wanted to play the all-format series at a convenient time.

The ODI matches will be staged at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
