The reigning T20 World Cup and ODI World Cup champions are likely to arrive in Bangladesh around February 20, 2023. The Three Lions play two practice matches before the start of the ODI series.

ECB chief executive Clare Connor expressed her delight over the two sides taking the field for the bilateral series next year.

"It is exciting that the England men's white-ball squad will return to Bangladesh for the first time since 2016. The atmosphere generated in Dhaka and Chattogram for this eagerly-anticipated tour will be fantastic. There is a great passion for cricket across Bangladesh, and we expect a tough challenge against a side who have an excellent record in home conditions,” told Connor as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.

England have registered wins in all of their four bilateral ODI series against Bangladesh. However, the latter will look to overcome their failures of being unable to beat the defending champions in the format when they arrive next year.
