Ireland and Bangladesh's men are set to play the first Test match between the nations in April.

Dhaka will host the fixture, which will come as the culmination of Ireland's multi-format, month-long tour of Bangladesh. It is set to take place between April 4 and 8.

The Irish have not played a Test match since July 2019, when they lost to England at Lord's. They are due a remath at the home of cricket in early June.
