Following a tri-nation ODI series in the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh's senior national team was eliminated after consecutive losses to Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. Stand-in captain Towhid Hridoy attributed the exit to a fragile batting unit and a failure to adapt to overseas conditions, noting a disparity between the team's success at home and their performance abroad.

In the Under-19 circuit, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) filed a formal complaint with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) regarding a regulatory breach during a series match in the UAE. The BCB alleges that Afghanistan Under-19 captain Sohail Khan bowled 11 overs in a match where only 10 are permitted. The discrepancy was reportedly identified by Bangladeshi analysts via online scorecards. The BCB has submitted video footage of the incident to match referee Yasir Latifzai to address the alleged umpiring error.
