England Tour of Bangladesh 1997/8

 The first tour I will cover is an England tour of Bangladesh in 1997/8, for which I have given Bangladesh their Test status 3 years early.

England have chosen a 20 man squad with a tour of India to follow later in the season at some point.

The tour will feature one 3 day warm up game and 3 Tests.

The Bangladesh side will be made up future Test players who played for Bangladesh in 1997/8 or before in either First Class, List A or ODI cricket.
