Team India is scheduled to tour Bangladesh later this year for a comprehensive white-ball series spanning August and September. According to ESPNcricinfo, the Men in Blue will feature in three ODIs and three T20Is. This announcement comes after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) revealed its complete 2026 calendar on Friday, January 2, which includes four Tests, 12 ODIs, and nine T20Is.
This will mark India’s first visit to Bangladesh since the 2022/23 tour, where Rohit Sharma’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat in the ODIs. It was their second consecutive series loss in Bangladesh, following a 2-1 defeat under MS Dhoni in 2015. The Shubman Gill-led squad will aim to reverse this trend in 2026 as they gear up for the 2027 World Cup.
Interestingly, India has never played a T20I series in Bangladesh. The two teams last met in October, when Suryakumar Yadav’s side completed a 3-0 whitewash at home.
