England are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on 30th September and they will play a 50-over warm-up game in Fatullah before heading back to Dhaka for the first two ODIs.

The third ODI will be held on 12th October in Chittagong and England will play the first Test between 20th and 24thOctober at the same venue.

England are also expected to play two consecutive two-day warm-up games at the MA Aziz Stadium prior to the start of the Test matches.

The last Test series between the two countries was in 2010 when Bangladesh toured England and lost the two-match series 2-0.

Since the three-match ODI series between the two teams in 2010, Bangladesh have played England just twice, once each in the 2011 and 2015 cricket world cups and have won both the encounters.
