Pakistan’s men’s cricket team will tour Bangladesh in 2026, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) unveiling the full itinerary for the bilateral series. The tour will be held in two phases, featuring a three-match One Day International (ODI) series in March, followed by a two-Test series in May as part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle.

The ODI series will be played from March 12 to 16, shortly after the conclusion of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. These matches will also mark the opening of Bangladesh’s international home season, offering local fans an early opportunity to watch high-profile cricket. The BCB said the venues for the ODIs will be announced at a later stage.
Pakistan will return to Bangladesh in May for the red-ball leg of the tour. The first Test is scheduled to begin on May 8, followed by the second Test on May 16. Both matches will carry WTC points, making them significant for both teams’ standings in the global Test rankings.
The BCB also confirmed a busy international home season for 2026, during which Bangladesh will host four Tests, 12 ODIs and nine T20Is. After Pakistan’s tour, New Zealand will visit in April and May for three ODIs and three T20Is.
Australia are set to tour Bangladesh in June, while India are expected to play three ODIs and three T20Is in August and September. The home season will conclude with a two-Test series against the West Indies in October and November, which will also form part of the World Test Championship.
Ahead of the West Indies Tests, Bangladesh will host a three-day warm-up match from October 22 to 24. In addition, Sri Lanka A are scheduled to tour Bangladesh in May for two four-day matches and three one-day games.
“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 in a statement.
