DHAKA, July 26, 2026 (BSS) - The Bangladesh Emerging Team will leave for South Africa tomorrow (Monday) for a tour that includes a one-day tri-series 
and two four-day matches.

The tri-series will feature the Bangladesh Emerging Team, the South Africa Emerging Team, and the USSA Team.

The tournament will begin on July 30, with South Africa Emerging taking on the USSA Team. Bangladesh will open its campaign on August 1 against South 
Africa Emerging in Pretoria.

In the double round-robin format, each team will play the other two teams twice, with the top two sides advancing to the final, scheduled for August 12 
at Tuks Oval in Pretoria.

Following the tri-series, Bangladesh Emerging and South Africa Emerging will compete in a two-match four-day series.

The first four-day match will be played from August 16 to 19 at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom, while the second and final match is scheduled for August 23 
to 26 at Willowmoore Park in Benoni.

Bangladesh had already announced its squad, featuring several players who have delivered impressive performances in recent years and are considered 
strong contenders for future national team selection.

Among them are Zakir Hasan and Mahidul Islam Ankon, both of whom have represented the Bangladesh national team. However, a prolonged dip in form 
saw them lose their places in the senior squad, and they are now looking to revive their international prospects through strong performances through this 
tour. 

Squad: Zakir Hasan, Mahfijul Islam, Ifthakhar Hossain Ifti, Shahadat Hossain, Samiun Basir Ratul, Moin Khan, Rohanat Doullah Borson, Anamul Haque, Irfaan 
Shukkur, Mahidul Islam Bhuiyan Ankon, Iqbal Hasan Emon, Chowdhury Md Rizwan, Abu Hasim, Habibur Rahman, Aminul Islam Biplob.
