On Tuesday, the two boards announced an itinerary that would see Jos Buttler's crew begin a three-match one-day series in Dhaka, less than 24 hours after England's second Test against New Zealand is set to conclude. It means England will once more have two teams on tour in different regions of the world simultaneously, as they did in 2022 when a Twenty20 team landed in Barbados during the final Ashes Test.

Richard Gould has been named as the England and Wales Cricket Board's next chief executive.
