Ireland T20I series against Bangladesh to be staged in England

The Oval, Chelmsford, Bristol and Edgbaston will host the four-match series but the three ODIs will be played in Stormont

Ireland's four-match T20 international series against Bangladesh in May will be played in England.

Due to a shortage of available pitches during a busy summer, The Oval, Chelmsford, Bristol and Edgbaston will be used to host the matches.

The games are scheduled for May 22, 24, 27, 29 and will be the first neutral internationals played between two full member nations since Pakistan faced Australia in 2010.

Stormont will host the three-match one-day international series between the sides pencilled in for May 14, 16 and 19.

New Zealand will play three T20s in Bready and a trio of ODIs in Stormont later in the summer before Pakistan arrive for two 20-over matches at Malahide.

England then host the Irish in three one-day internationals in September.

Bangladesh have contrasting memories of matches at the four venues chosen for the games.

They have lost on all four trips to Edgbaston and were beaten by New Zealand in their only appearance at Chelmsford during the 1999 World Cup.

Their only previous match at Bristol ended in their first-ever win over England in 2010, and while they have only prevailed once in five games at The Oval it came against South Africa in the last World Cup.
