In a significant development, Zimbabwe Cricket has officially confirmed the schedule for Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe in June and July 2026. The bilateral series will feature one Test match, three ODIs and three T20Is, with matches set to be played in Harare and Bulawayo.

It is important to note that the upcoming series marks Zimbabwe’s return to home international cricket following their impressive campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, recently defeated Pakistan 2-0 at home. The Bangla Tigers won the first Test by 104 runs and the second match by 78 runs.

Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni expressed his excitement after confirming the tour schedule.

"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," Makoni 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."

Before the Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe 2026, Bangladesh is scheduled to play against Australia in a white-ball series featuring three ODIs and three T20Is. 

Zimbabwe to host India for T20I series

It is vital to note that Zimbabwe will also host India in July for a three-match T20I series. The first T20I of the series will be played on July 23, followed by the second on July 25. 

The last and final match of the series will be played on July 26, and the game will be played at Harare Sports Club.
