BAN vs ENG 1st T20I: The England cricket team is touring Bangladesh in March 2023 to play three ODIs and three T20I matches. The ODI series, which is in its leg right now, is part of the inaugural 2022-23 ICC World Cup Super League. It is the first bilateral T20I series between the two teams and England’s first tour of Bangladesh since 2016. Initially, the tour was scheduled to take place in September and October 2021, with the T20I matches having been used as preparation for the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
