BCB confirms Pakistan’s white-ball and Test tour of Bangladesh in 2026

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has confirmed that Pakistan’s men’s cricket team will tour Bangladesh in 2026 as part of a packed international home season.

In a statement issued on Friday, the BCB announced that Bangladesh will host a total of four Test matches, 12 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and nine Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) during the 2026 season.

Bangladesh’s home international calendar will begin in March, following the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup. Pakistan will be the first visiting side, touring Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series. The tour will also include a two-match Test series, which will count towards the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle.

“The confirmed itinerary ensures a season full of international cricket in Bangladesh, providing supporters across the country the opportunity to watch top-level cricket at home,” the BCB said, adding that match venues will be announced at a later date.

After Pakistan’s tour, New Zealand will visit Bangladesh for a white-ball series starting on April 17.

The BCB also confirmed Australia’s white-ball tour, which will begin on June 5. The series will feature three ODIs and three T20Is, scheduled to be played between June 15 and 20.

In addition, the board announced the rescheduling of Bangladesh’s series against India, which had been postponed in 2025. India will tour Bangladesh in August–September 2026 to play three ODIs and three T20Is.
