Zimbabwe is gearing up to host Bangladesh for a blockbuster multi-format home series this June and July, with Harare and Bulawayo set to stage top-level international cricket in what promises to be one of the most anticipated summers in recent memory.
The full bilateral tour comprises a lone Test match, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and three T20 Internationals, offering local cricket fans across the country a feast of high-stakes international action.
The tour bursts into life with a five-day Test match at Harare Sports Club from June 28 to July 2. The two sides will remain in the capital for the ODI series, scheduled for July 6, 9, and 11.
The action then shifts to Bulawayo, where the iconic Queens Sports Club will host the fast-paced T20I leg on July 15, 17, and 19.
Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni noted that the incoming tour arrives at a pivotal moment for the local game.

"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," Makoni said. "Our supporters have every reason to be proud of what we have achieved in recent months."
The upcoming series carries plenty of historical spice. Zimbabwe memorably upended Bangladesh 2-1 in both the T20I and ODI series during their last meeting on Zimbabwean soil in 2022—a winning blueprint the hosts will be desperate to replicate.
For local cricket enthusiasts, the timing of the tour could not be better, capitalizing on the wave of momentum following the Chevrons' historic campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
