IT is exciting to know that Afghanistan will play three One-Day matches before the England series against the Tigers. The Tigers have not played any international match for a long time and it will be an opportunity for them to prepare against the powerful English side. Afghanistan is a very promising cricket team as it has some quality cricketers who can produce high-level performance. The Tigers must not relax when they face Afghanistan. All cricket lovers of the country were delighted when they came to know that the English team will visit Bangladesh as per schedule. England will play three On-Day matches and two Tests against us. It will be interesting to see how the Tigers face England who currently rank 4th in Test cricket and fifth in the One-Day format. Bangladesh will sorely miss its sensational bowler Mustafizur who just had a surgery for his shoulder injury. But that is a part of life.
