Zimbabwe to host Bangladesh for Test and white-ball series

Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has confirmed that Bangladesh will visit Zimbabwe in June and July for a full bilateral series comprising one Test match, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).

The eagerly awaited tour will get underway with a five-day Test match at Harare Sports Club from 28 June to 2 July.

The two teams will remain in Harare for the ODI series, with matches scheduled for 6, 9 and 11 July at the same venue.

The tour will then move to Bulawayo, where Queens Sports Club will host the T20I series on 15, 17 and 19 July.

The two sides last met in a two-match Test series in Bangladesh last year, which ended one-all after Zimbabwe secured a memorable three-wicket victory in the opening Test – their first win in the format in four years.

Bangladesh’s previous tour of Zimbabwe took place in July and August 2022, when the hosts delivered impressive performances to win both the T20I and ODI series 2-1 at Harare Sports Club.

The forthcoming series will mark Zimbabwe’s first home assignment of the year and their first international action since their historic campaign at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka in February and March.

Zimbabwe captured global attention during the tournament after reaching the Super Eight stage for the first time in their history, with the team progressing through the group stage unbeaten and recording famous victories over Australia and Sri Lanka.

ZC Managing Director Givemore Makoni said the Bangladesh tour comes at a pivotal moment for Zimbabwe cricket following the national team’s recent rise on the international stage.

“We are delighted to confirm Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe for what we expect to be a highly competitive and exciting series across all formats,” he said.

“This tour is hugely significant for us as it marks the return of top-level international cricket to our home venues following the team’s outstanding performances at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup earlier this year.

“Our supporters have every reason to be proud of what we have achieved in recent months and we are looking forward to seeing fans once again rally behind the team in Harare and Bulawayo.”

Ticketing information and broadcast details will be announced in due course.
