This is the second bilateral series between both sides in the last three years. They last met in a two-match series in 2022, which Bangladesh clinched 2-0. 

"In the last three years, we have hosted ICC Full Members New Zealand, West Indies and Afghanistan while Bangladesh's T20I series tour is their second bilateral tour of the UAE in three years," Emirates Cricket Board COO Subhan Ahmad said.

"We are confident that these two games will further strengthen the cricketing ties between the BCB and ECB and provide quality entertainment to the cricket fans."
