Team India’s next assignment is already underway: a white-ball tour of Bangladesh that began on September 1 and runs through September 13, 2026, comprising three ODIs followed by three T20Is.
Why This Tour Matters
This series is historically significant on its own terms, marking the first-ever bilateral T20I series between the two sides to be played in Bangladesh. Originally scheduled for August 2025, the tour was postponed and rescheduled into this September window, which briefly created a fixture clash with India’s planned T20I series against Afghanistan.
What Comes After Bangladesh
- The Asian Games in Aichi, Japan, from September 24 to October 3, where Shreyas Iyer captains India’s T20 squad
- A rescheduled home T20I series against Afghanistan in Delhi from September 13-17
- A lengthy home series against West Indies from September 27 to October 17, spanning three ODIs and five T20Is
Squad Context
India’s previous tour of Bangladesh, in 2022, ended with a 2-1 ODI series loss but a 2-0 Test series win. This time, with no Tests on the itinerary, the tour is purely about white-ball form heading into a jam-packed final quarter of the year. It also comes as India continues rotating personnel across formats, a pattern visible throughout our full 2026 India cricket schedule.
