LAHORE: Pakistan’s men’s cricket team is set to tour Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series, starting on March 11 in Dhaka.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the schedule in a press release.
“Pakistan will arrive in Bangladesh on March 9 and will undergo a training session on March 10 ahead of the opening ODI against the hosts at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Dhaka on March 11,” the statement said.
“The second and third ODIs are scheduled for March 13 and March 15, respectively, with all matches at the same venue,” it added,
The second match of the series will be played on March 13, while the last ODI will be played on March 15.
All three fixtures are scheduled to be played at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.
The Green Shirts will return home and will tour Bangladesh again in May after the completion of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 11.
The two sides will meet for a two-match Test series in May, part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle.
The first Test is slated to take place in Dhaka from May 8 to 12, while the second Test will be held in Chattogram from May 16 to 20.
Pakistan’s visit forms part of Bangladesh’s packed home international calendar for the 2026 season.
The Tigers are scheduled to host four Tests, 12 ODIs, and nine T20Is across the year, beginning with Pakistan’s tour immediately after the T20 World Cup.
After Pakistan ODIs, the New Zealand men’s cricket team will arrive for a white-ball series starting April 17.
Later in the season, Australia are also set to tour Bangladesh for three ODIs and three T20Is, with matches scheduled around mid-June.
Bangladesh are further expected to host India for a limited-overs series in August-September 2026, featuring three ODIs and three T20Is, following a two-match Test series against the West Indies men’s cricket team under the WTC.
However, uncertainty surrounds India’s tour after recent tensions, including Bangladesh’s withdrawal from the T20 World Cup in India, where they were replaced by Scotland.
