Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has released the schedule for home series against West Indies in January-February 2021.

BCB and Cricket West Indies (CWI) have agreed on shortening the tour to just three ODIs and two Tests. As per the FTP (Future Tour Programmes), the two sides were supposed to play three Tests, three ODIs and two T20Is.

Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur and Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium will host the matches.

West Indies will arrive on January 10. They will play a 50-over warm-up at BKSP on January 18 after completing seven-day quarantine period. The ODIs will be held at Mirpur on Jan 20 and 22, and in Chattogram on Jan 25.
