The Pakistan men’s cricket team will tour Bangladesh in July for a three-match T20I series, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) expected to officially confirm the schedule next week, according to reports.
The BCB has reportedly shared a proposed itinerary with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), outlining fixtures on 20, 22 and 24 July.
All matches are set to be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
This bilateral series falls outside the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Future Tours Programme (FTP) and was arranged following high-level discussions between PCB and BCB officials on the sidelines of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, jointly hosted by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
Bangladesh, currently led by Litton Das, recently completed a reciprocal tour of Pakistan where they were swept 3–0 in a T20I series. That campaign marked the first assignment for Pakistan’s new white-ball head coach Mike Hesson and T20I skipper Salman Ali Agha.
Following their matches in Bangladesh, Pakistan will travel to the West Indies for another white-ball assignment. A three-match T20I series is scheduled to begin on 31 July in the United States.
Although an ODI leg is tentatively planned, reports suggest that the PCB and Cricket West Indies (CWI) are in talks to replace it with additional T20Is.
The change would allow both teams to focus on upcoming T20 tournaments, including the 2025 ACC Men’s Asia Cup and the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
As it stands, the T20Is against the West Indies are scheduled for 31 July, 2 August and 3 August. The proposed ODI series is slated to be held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad on 8, 10 and 12 August, pending final confirmation.
Further details on both tours, including any changes to the fixture list, are expected in the coming weeks.
