The chief executive of BCB has confirmed that England won’t play any practice matches during their upcoming limited overs tour of Bangladesh in March.

Prior to the three-match ODI series, which was scheduled to begin on March 1, England was expected to play two practise matches on February 24 and 26. The Shere Bangla National Stadium will host all three games, but BCB’s chief executive confirmed that the visitors will not play any practice game during their upcoming limited overs tour of Bangladesh.
