Venues announced for South Africa U19's tour of Bangladesh

Khulna Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium and Rajshahi Shaheed Kamruzzaman Stadium were selected as the two venues for Bangladesh Under-19’s five-match youth ODI series against South Africa.

It will be the South African youth team’s second tour to Bangladesh for a bilateral series since their first visit here in 2015.

The South African youth team will arrive in Bangladesh on July 3 and travelled straight to Khulna where they will play the first three matches of the series, scheduled to be held on July 6, 9, 11.

The two teams thereafter will head to Rajshahi, where they will play the last two matches on July 14 and 17.

Rajshahi’s Shaheed Kamruzzaman Stadium was made an international venue again, after 13 years with Bangladesh Under-19’s series against Pakistan earlier this month. Bangladesh, however, lost badly in that series, conceding a 4-1 defeat to Pakistan youths in the five-match youth ODI series. They also lost the only T20 match of the series.
