England Tour
Tigers leave May 7


The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has revealed the Tigers' itinerary for next month's tour of England.

The Bangladesh team will leave Dhaka on May 7 to play their first full series in England where they will also feature in a triangular one-day tournament involving world champions Australia and the hosts. If they do not make the final of the tri-series, the team will leave the English shores on June 1. In case of a highly unlikely final berth, the return will be delayed by three more days.

The Bangladesh team open their tour with a three-day match against the British Universities at Fenners, Cambridge starting May 10.
