England cricket team will return to Bangladesh for the first time since 2016 for two white-ball series in March, both cricket boards said on Tuesday.

They will begin with three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) followed by three Twenty20 matches. All the matches will be held in Dhaka and Chattogram.

The last time the two teams met in Bangladesh was in 2016, when England won the ODI series 2-1 and the Test series ended 1-1.

The England team will arrive in Dhaka on 20 February. The ODI series will begin on 1 March.
