Bangladesh will take on all full members of the ICC according to the next cycle of the ICC Men’s Future Tour Programme (FTP), reports UNB.
The next FTP will start in 2023 and end in 2027 which is published by the ICC.
The announcement of the FTP, a result of a collective effort of the members with ICC’s support, ensures the certainty of cricket fixtures with the confirmation of all bilateral series across the three formats.
However, the exact dates of the series that Bangladesh would play will be finalised by the involving boards.
According to FTP, Bangladesh will make a tour of Ireland in June 2023, which will be followed by a home series of two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is against Afghanistan in June. They also have a busy calendar in 2024 during which they will host Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe from February to April and then will play Afghanistan, Pakistan and India in away Tests mid-year.
A home Test series against South Africa and an away full tour of the West Indies (two Tests, three ODIS and three T20Is) are part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 while the 2025-27 WTC finishes off for them with a challenging home series against England and an away series in Australia.
Bangladesh play New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka at home in the 2023-25 WTC while touring India, Pakistan and the West Indies. In the 2025-27 cycle, they play England, Pakistan and the West Indies at home and have away series scheduled in Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka. All of these series are part of the WTC.
