Bangladesh, Netherlands to play maiden bilateral series ahead of Asia Cup
Bangladesh are ensuring their preparation for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, starting September 9, stays on track with consistent game time. Following their historic maiden T20I series win over Pakistan last month, the Tigers are now gearing up to host the Netherlands for the first-ever bilateral white-ball series between the two sides. The Netherlands, who have previously only played in tournaments in Bangladesh, will now be part of a three-match T20I series that marks a new chapter in their rivalry. This short tour will provide Bangladesh with competitive match practice ahead of a major continental event, while also offering the Netherlands a chance to test themselves in subcontinental conditions. The Netherlands tour Bangladesh for the first time The Dutch side is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on August 26, following which they will head straight to Sylhet, where all three T20Is will be played. The team will undergo a three-day training camp before the series begins on August 30. The remaining two matches are scheduled for September 1 and 3. This tour will mark the Netherlands' first bilateral series on Bangladeshi soil, though they have previously competed in the country during the 2014 ICC T20 World Cup, where they famously defeated Ireland in a thrilling group stage encounter to qualify for the Super 10 round. A stopgap series The bilateral series was arranged at short notice by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) after India postponed their scheduled tour, which was supposed to include three ODIs and three T20Is between August 17 and 31. With a month-long international gap looming, the BCB sought to fill the void with another team. Initial discussions were held with Nepal, but it was the Netherlands that ultimately agreed to the series, adding unexpected but welcome international flavour to Bangladesh's pre–Asia Cup calendar. BCB officials have expressed satisfaction at sealing the agreement quickly and view the series as essential match exposure for the players. Limited history, fresh opportunity Despite their long-standing presence in global cricket, Bangladesh and the Netherlands have rarely crossed paths in international . They have faced off in just five T20Is overall, with Bangladesh winning four of those. Their only prior bilateral engagement was back in 2012, when Bangladesh toured the Netherlands for two T20Is. For the Dutch side, this is a rare chance to challenge a full-member nation in their own backyard. For Bangladesh, it's a test of consistency after the high of their series win against Pakistan. Looking ahead to the Asia Cup 2025 With a tight Asia Cup schedule approaching, the T20I series offers both teams crucial preparation. For Bangladesh in particular, maintaining form and momentum is key, and Head Coach Chandika Hathurusingha has emphasised the importance of match rhythm heading into the regional tournament. Meanwhile, the Netherlands will look to fine-tune their strategies ahead of their own busy international calendar.

Team India's Next Match: When Will Men In Blue Be Back In Action After Oval Win?
Last Updated: After a thrilling 2-2 draw against England, when will India men play their next international match? Find out here. The India-England series can be described with many adjectives: exciting, historical, unforgettable, but also exhausting. For the first time in eight years, we saw a five-test series with all matches going to the last day. Many players got injured in the sheer weight of their increased workloads, and Mohammed Siraj was the only fast bowler to bowl in all the innings available to his team. For players, coaches, and staff, they'll need a huge, well-deserved break to get over the euphoria, adrenaline and perhaps some mixed feelings about the 2-2. However, the consequence of winning like that is that fans can't get enough of you. Soon after the series ended, questions were being asked on social media about when the Indian men's team would play next. The answer is not straightforward. If you go by the official books, India's next match would be against the UAE on September 10 in the 2025 Asia Cup in the T20 format. They'll then play Pakistan on September 14 and Oman on September 19, hoping to qualify in the top two of their group stage to reach the Super-Four stage. The best two in the latter will then go on to play the final. That means fans will have to wait around five weeks to see some action. However, the team was also supposed to go to Bangladesh this month for a white-ball tour with three ODIs and as many T20Is. However, owing to tensions between the two countries' political regimes, that tour now stands postponed indefinitely. The official reason mentioned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was different. 'This decision has been reached following discussions between the two Boards, taking into account the international cricketing commitments and scheduling convenience of both teams," the release read. 'The BCB looks forward to welcoming India in September 2026 for this eagerly anticipated series. Revised dates and fixtures for the tour will be announced in due course," it added. Now, there have been reports claiming that the Bangladesh tour could be replaced by a trip to Sri Lanka. Media in the island nation have also cited 'optimism' that such a tour would go ahead. However, it is yet to be confirmed, and time is running out to arrange all logistics. Get latest Cricket news, live score and match results on News18.
