DHAKA, Sept 3, 2021 (BSS) - Ending all uncertainties, Afghanistan Under-19 team is set to arrive in Bangladesh tomorrow (Saturday) for a bilateral series against the Bangladesh Under-19 team.

They will play five one-day matches and one four-day game during the three-week long tour here. All of the matches of the series will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
