The Indian women’s team will travel to Bangladesh next month for three ODIs and as many T20Is and will play all its matches at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
The T20I series will begin on July 9, followed by the other two games on July 11 and 13. The ODIs will be played on July 16, 19 and July 22.
This will be the team’s first international assignment since the T20 World Cup in February, when it lost in the semifinals.

The women’s team will be touring Bangladesh for the first time in nine years when it completed a 3-0 cleansweep over the hosts in a three-match T20I series.
India has never played an ODI series in Bangladesh.
The Indian women’s team has been without a head coach since December last year after Ramesh Powar was moved to the National Cricket Academy. Hrishikesh Kanitkar was given a stand-in assignment as the batting coach, and the team also featured in the T20 World Cup without a head coach.
In May, the BCCI had invited applications for the position, and on Friday, the Cricket Advisory Committee headed by Ashok Malhotra will interview three candidates - Amol Muzumdar, Tushar Arothe and Jon Lewis, a former county cricketer and coach - in Mumbai on Saturday.
While Muzumdar, a former Mumbai coach, is considered the front-runner for the job, the BCCI hopes to appoint a coach before the team travels to Dhaka next month.
The women cricketers had camps at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru recently.
