The Ireland Wolves cricket team toured Bangladesh in February and March 2021 to play an unofficial Test match (with First-class status), five unofficial One Day International matches (with List A status) and one unofficial Twenty20 International match (with Twenty20 status) against a Bangladesh Emerging team.[1][2] The tour was confirmed a day after Ireland's tour of Zimbabwe was cancelled.[3] The original tour schedule included two Twenty20 matches, but one was dropped from the itinerary on 13 March 2021.[4]

The first unofficial ODI match was abandoned after 30 overs, after Ruhan Pretorius tested positive for COVID-19.[5] Ahead of the second ODI, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that the match would take place, after all players returned a negative test.[6] Pretorius' test was later found to be a false positive, with him returning to the squad for the second match.[7]

Originally, George Dockrell was set to captain the Ireland Wolves in the unofficial Test, and Harry Tector would lead the side in the limited overs matches.[10] However, the day before the squad departed for Bangladesh, it was announced that Dockrell had opted out of the tour.[9] The same day, Ruhan Pretorius was added to the squad and Tector was confirmed as captain.[11]
