The England cricket team toured Bangladesh in March 2023 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[2][3] It was the first bilateral T20I series between the two teams,[4] and England's first tour of Bangladesh since 2016.[5]
Originally, the tour was scheduled to take place in September and October 2021,[6][7] with the T20I matches having been used as preparation for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[8][9] However, in August 2021, the tour was postponed due to fixture congestion and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11][12]
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that they were in talks with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to reschedule the matches before the cut-off time of the Super League.[13][14] On 3 August 2021, the ECB confirmed that the tour had been re-arranged for March 2023.[15] On 27 December 2022, both BCB and ECB confirmed the fixtures of the tour.[16][17] However, later in January 2023, the tour's practice matches were cancelled by the ECB due to non-availability of several players and a busy international schedule.[18]
England won the ODI series with 2–1 margin, ending Bangladesh's 7 years unbeaten run in ODI series at home since 2016.[19]
Bangladesh won the first T20I match of the series, which was their first win against England and their 50th win in T20Is.[20] They also defeated England in the rest two games to grasp the series 3–0.[21]
