Indian women’s cricket team to play 5 T20Is against Bangladesh


The Indian women’s cricket team will travel to Bangladesh for a five-match Twenty 20 International (T20I) series against the hosts. The series is scheduled from 28th April to 9th May.

As per the itinerary published by the Bangladesh Cricket Board, India will arrive in Bangladesh on 23rd April and stay there till 10th May.

The first match of the series will be a day-night affair and will be played on April 28, followed by games on April 30 (D/N), May 2, May 6 and May 9 (D/N).

All the matches are scheduled to be held in Sylhet.

BCCI is yet to announce the squad for the tour as the Indian players are busy in the Inter zonal multi-day trophy with the semi-finals of the tournament going on.

A couple of new names the likes of S Sajana and Asha Shobana might make a debut on the tour given a solid Women’s Premier League campaign for them.

The tour is important as Bangladesh will host the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup in September-October 2024 where India will be chasing the elusive title.

On the other hand, hosts Bangladesh are playing Australia in a T20I series where they have lost two matches. Earlier, they lost the ODI series also.
