Note: this page covers the senior Bangladesh national team’s international fixtures. It’s separate from the Bangladesh Emerging Team’s current tour of South Africa (four-day and one-day matches through August 2026) – that’s an A-team assignment for fringe players, not the full Tigers squad covered in this Bangladesh cricket schedule 2026.

India tours Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series followed by a three-match T20I series, played entirely on home soil.

The tour was originally slated for August 2025 before being rescheduled, with fixtures confirmed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in January 2026.

Exact venues and kickoff times (local Bangladesh time, since these are home matches) are confirmed by the BCB closer to the series – we’ll keep this Bangladesh cricket schedule 2026 updated as they’re announced.
Bangladesh vs India 2026 Squad
Official squads for both series are confirmed by the BCB and BCCI in the weeks before the tour, but Bangladesh’s white-ball core for the Bangladesh vs India 2026 squad is expected to be built around captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, with senior players Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, and Taskin Ahmed among the likely picks. We’ll update this section with the confirmed 15/16-man squad as soon as the BCB announces it.
