Bangladesh to play two T20Is against UAE in Sharjah

Bangladesh men’s cricket team will play two T20Is against the UAE national team in Sharjah in May.

This will be Bangladesh's second T20I series against the UAE in the last three years. The two teams played in a two-match series in Dubai in September 2022.

The matches will unfold at Sharjah cricket stadium on May 17 and 19 from 7:00pm (UAE time). 

CEO Emirates Cricket Board Subhan Ahmad said the opportunity will deeply benefit the UAE national team.

"The two-match Bangladesh series will provide an ideal preparation opportunity for UAE ahead of this year’s ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup and we thank Bangladesh Cricket Board for their support for UAE Cricket."

He added that the "Emirates Cricket Board is always keen on providing opportunities to the UAE’s national side against quality opponents".

Over the last three years, the UAE has hosted New Zealand, West Indies and Afghanistan, he noted.
