These are the matches which Bangladesh will play starting from 2020 to qualify for the 2023 WC directly and will have a drastic effect on the rankings:
1. Away vs Ireland - 3 matches
2. Home vs Srilanka - 3 matches
3. Home vs Windies - 3 matches
4.
Away vs New Zealand - 3 matches
5. Home vs Zimbabwe - 3 matches
6. Home vs England - 3 matches
7. Home vs Afghanistan - 3 matches
8.
Away vs South Africa - 3 matches
Notable exclusions are series against PAK, IND & AUS. Two tough away series vs NZ & SA and one relatively moderate home series vs ENG. Overall, these 24 matches will decide our future of directly qualifying for the WC. Seems like something to be hopeful about.
