When Bangladesh plays Ireland in the second Test of the two-match series beginning on November 19, Mushfiqur Rahim is expected to play his 100th Test at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
Cricket Ireland apparently sought to play an ODI series instead of the second Test, but they agreed to play both Tests. Sylhet will host the first Bangladesh-Ireland Test starting on November 11.
When Mushfiqur, who is presently playing 98 Test matches, reaches the three-figure mark, he will become the first cricket player from Bangladesh to do so.
He became the second-youngest player to play a Test at Lord’s after Sachin Tendulkar when he made his debut there in 2005 at the age of 18.
He is the only batter in Bangladesh with more than 6000 runs at this time. In 2020, he had the best individual score for the team with 219 not out against Zimbabwe.
Following two Test matches between Bangladesh and Ireland, the Twenty20 Internationals will take place in Chattogram on November 27 and 29, and in Dhaka on December 2.
Cricket In the meantime, West Indies said on Wednesday that they will travel to Bangladesh for a six-match white-ball series in October. On October 18, 20, and 23, they will play the three ODIs; on October 27 and 30, and on November 1, they will play the three T20Is.
The Bangladesh Premier League is probably going to take place during the December–January window, which is free for Bangladesh, according to the ICC’s prospective tour schedule. In February, there will be the T20 World Cup.
Bangladesh will also play home series against New Zealand and Pakistan in 2025–2026.
