Preliminary Schedule for Bangladesh Tour Released

The preliminary schedule for Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe has been released. As currently planned, 5 one-day games will be played in the space of 8 days, although it's known that neither ZC nor the Bangladesh Cricket Board are entirely happy with the plans - ZC would prefer to delay the series to September, when their UK-based players (8 of the squad that toured the West Indies) will be more readily available, while Bangladesh, who insisted on the July / August dates, are unhappy with the cramped schedule. As a result, don't be hugely surprised if this changes:
29 July 2006           1st ODI     Bulawayo
30 July 2006           2nd ODI     Bulawayo
2 August 2006          3rd ODI     Harare
4 August 2006          4th ODI     Harare
5 August 2006          5th ODI     Harare
