Bangladesh set to tour USA for three T20Is ahead of World Cup

USA will also play Canada in a five-match T20I series in April. All the games will be hosted by Prairie View Cricket Complex in Houston, Texas.

"For the Bangladesh Team, this tour serves as an ideal platform to acclimatise to the conditions ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024," Nizam Uddin Chowdhury, CEO, Bangladesh Cricket Board, said. "We recognise the significance of this preparatory phase and are committed to making the most of this invaluable experience."

Bangladesh were knocked out in the group stages of the previous T20 World Cup and will hope to put on an improved show after an indifferent ODI World Cup.

"Ahead of the important Men's T20 World Cup, these games will be vital for our team to get their working combinations, build team cohesion, and fine-tune strategies," said Mr. Venu Pisike, Chairman of USA Cricket.

Canada and USA are part of Group A - along with India, Ireland, and Pakistan - in the T20 World Cup. Bangladesh are part of group D, and will play against Nepal and Netherlands in Kingstown in the West Indies.
