The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to prune by one Test the three-match series against Zimbabwe in January.
Chief of BCB's Cricket Operations Naimur Rahman Durjoy said the decision was taken to allow the team ample time to prepare for next year's World Twenty20, reports bdnews24.com on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe will visit Bangladesh for a complete series like last year.
"We are still discussing (this) with Zimbabwe. We have proposed playing two Tests, reducing one. They've said they'll let us know after discussing among themselves," Naimur said on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe Cricket is likely to agree with the terms as Bangladesh are the hosts of the series that will also include three ODIs and T20Is.
The proposal can come as a surprise to many as Bangladesh in the past have always urged more matches in the prestigious format.
