Bangladesh will kick off their home season with a white-ball series against the West Indies in mid-October 2025. The series will feature three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) followed by three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), serving as vital preparation for both teams ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, set to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka in February.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Tuesday that the ODI matches will take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, while the T20Is will be hosted at the Bir Shrestho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Cricket Stadium in Chattogram, formerly known as the Zahur Ahmed Cricket Stadium.
Series Importance
The series holds significant weight for both Bangladesh and the West Indies, as it will be their last international assignment before the global T20 tournament. Coaches and selectors are expected to use this opportunity to test different combinations and finalize their squads.
