LAHORE: The Pakistan men’s cricket team will tour Bangladesh next month for a three-match ODI series, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Friday.

The series will be played a few days after the conclusion of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, currently co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka till March 8, and will conclude a week before the start of the much-anticipated Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11.

The three ODIs between Bangladesh and Pakistan will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on March 11, 13 and 15 respectively.

The green shirts will reach Dhaka on March 9 and hold a training session the next day.

Notably, this will be Pakistan’s second tour of Bangladesh after July 2025. The national team last toured Bangladesh for a three-match T20I series in July, which the hosts won 2-1.

On the other hand, Bangladesh last toured Pakistan for a three-match T20I series in May-June last year, beating the 2009 champions 3-0.

The home ODI series against Pakistan will be Bangladesh’s first international assignment after the International Cricket Council (ICC) refused to travel to India, replacing them with Scotland for the 20-team mega event.
