“Despite having aspirations of performing well in the Asia Cup, the Bangladesh national team has had to leave the tournament empty-handed. In this edition of the Asia Cup, Bangladesh managed to win only two out of five matches.
Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan and India in the group stage, sealing their fate in the Super Four. In the remaining three matches, they faced defeats against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India. Only in the last two matches of the Super Four, Bangladesh managed to secure victories.
Bangladesh’s win against India in a thrilling contest was the highlight of their Super Four campaign. However, their overall performance in the tournament fell short of expectations.
Despite the challenges, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) media manager Rabeed Imam confirmed that the team would return to Dhaka on Saturday, September 16th, and would soon begin preparations for the upcoming series against New Zealand.
Bangladesh will play a three-match One Day International (ODI) series against New Zealand, starting on September 21st. Kane Williamson’s New Zealand team will arrive in Dhaka on September 17th.
It is due to this series that the Bangladesh team is flying back home after the conclusion of the Asia Cup. The team will have a day of rest at home before commencing preparations for the series against New Zealand.
However, some players who are part of the World Cup planning may be given a rest during this series. The World Cup mission for Bangladesh will start with a match against Afghanistan on October 7th. Before that, Bangladesh will play two warm-up matches against Sri Lanka and England on September 29th and October 2nd, respectively.
The match against Australia will take place on November 11th as part of the round-robin league in Bangladesh’s last match before the World Cup.”
