Bangladesh will welcome India for three ODIs and three T20Is, beginning on 17 August.​

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the fixtures for India’s upcoming tour of Bangladesh in August 2025, featuring three ODIs and three T20Is.

The Indian team are set to arrive in Dhaka on 13 August ahead of the ODI series that begins on 17 August at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. The third and final ODI will be played in Chattogram, which will also host the first game of the three-match T20I series on 26 August.

The action will head back to Mirpur for the second and third T20Is.

The T20I series will be the first time Bangladesh will host India in a bilateral series at home.

The most recent T20I series between the two teams took place in 2024, when Bangladesh toured India and the hosts secured a comfortable 3-0 victory. In their last ODI series clash in 2022, India visited Bangladesh and suffered a 2-1 defeat.

“Bangladesh and India have played some very competitive matches in recent years, and I am confident that this will be another hard-fought and entertaining series.”

Waste of time. Should have played a series against NZ in NZ

Charity tour by BCCI to spread cricket in minnowland.

India haven't won an ODI series in Bangladesh since 2014. They lost in 2015 and also in 2022 (lost 1-2 each time).

May BD win again.

 

[Hellion]

Not sure why we play these guys so often. Nothing to be gained by playing Bangladesh .

 

[Hellion]

High time India normalises cricket relations with Pakistan and plays bilateral cricket with them instead.

midgets don't deserve Indian tours.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think BD can win the ODI series 2-1 yet again.

But, TEAM IPL may take the T20 series. T20 is BD's weakest format.

 

[Vikram1989]

I think this will be the last tour of ind in bng for a long time. I see bng with its pathetic mentality on show once again by keeping mirpur for majority odis and t20s to win the series on those paddy fields. They just dont even think to play against major teams in good pitches and learn.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they can utilize to introduce guys like PRiyansh, Dhruv Rathee and other youngsters.

LOL at Indians calling others midgets. Average Indian male height is 5 feet 6 inches.

Anyway, these will be determined by those who are in charge. You are not in charge of anything. You are powerless with a big mouth.

It would be great if India resume cricket with Pakistan and stop hijacking world cricket.

Going by recent back and forth trade sanctions. and non stop protests happening in Bangladesh I doubt it will be safe to tour Bangaldesh. Expect cancellation of the tour by July.

From South Asia it seems only BD make the list and top 10: https://www.businessinsider.com/sho...ngladeshi is 157.29,4 feet 11.36 inches) tall.

This is not a criticism but this is why BD cannot produce fast bowlers who are badmaash like Shoaib Akhtar. Even India managed Bhumrah.

But you lot are not only midgets but completely talentless and mental midgets also.

Despite chest thumping of Indian posters claiming that they will boycott BCB and claiming they won't offer IPL contracts to Bangladeshis at protest of Hindu genocide ( their words not mine) it seems India is travelling to Bangladesh with its tail between its legs.

 

[nish_mate]

Why are we touring that god forsaken unfriendly ungrateful toyger pathetic excuse of a cricketing nation?

Indians are known for being hypocrites no offence especially BCCI.

 

[nish_mate]

Will Indians be safe touring the unfriendly blood thirsty unruly East Pakistan?

They are a funny bunch.

Like I said, these decisions are made by those who are actually in charge. These chest thumpers don't have the power to influence anything.

 

[BDfanforever]

Dont care much about the ODIs, but let's see how BD new T20 squad fares.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

The recent happenings in WB and for the last 70 odd years in BD with the recent events concerning ex-Pm Hasina does not augur for a convival cricketing environment.

Hope for a safe series and may series be remembered for display of cricketing skills only.
if BD do manage to nick a T20 or an ODI here and there, true test of the stadium foundations and the roof

 

[BouncerGuy]

India should play stronger teams. These Bangladeshi boys stand no chance against such a stronger side.

 

[light]

Didn't we loose both the last two odi series at their own den?

 

[Vikram1989]

Bng will have the majority matches at paddy field mirpur for a reason. Outside those paddy fields they will be owned by everyone including usa.they are minnows for a reason. Everyone can see their odi results in ct, wc 23 , asia cup 23.

 

[sweep_shot]

Didn't we loose both the last two odi series at their own den?

Yup.

2015 and 2022.

 

[Rajdeep]

The amount of hatred Bangladeshis have for Hindus and Indians in general, will our players be safe there? I am not sure if it is a good idea to tour in such obmoxious place. There is Asia cup scheduled in September anyway, what is the point of touring Bangla around same time? Bangladesh has no shame, at one hand they say they hate India but at the same time want to earn money at the expense of Indian cricket team. However atleast BCCI should be mindful enough. Why cant they invite their master China and play?

#KyuKayaHui?

GOI can denied the permission if they want at the last minutes.

Their ODI record outside of Dhaka is rubbish against Top 7 sides

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great news.

We must play our part as a responsible and friendly neighbour despite the bad elements doing bad stuff in Bangladesh recently.

My Aunty, Sheikh Haseena ji, dedicated her life to friendly relations between the two nations and i will always honour that.

Hope to see some competitive matches brother.

 

[Bhaijaan]

@sweep_shot

Will there be hostile crowd in Bangladesh or can we expect some support or friendly fan behaviour?

It is a fact that there is still a decent proposition of the Bangladeshi people who have a soft corner for Bharat but their voices remain quiet for now because of the current situations.

TBH, really surprised at the timing of the announcement of the tour. Is Amit Shah letting Indian cricket team be bait and be the pretext of action against Bangladesh. Lahore is preferrable to Dhaka right now for Indian team.
75% chance this tour gets cancelled at the last moment.

Exactly. Mirpur swampland is the worst place to play cricket. This is what Litton Das has to say on Mirpur.

Litton Das slams Mirpur pitch: “One month of practice here can do more harm than good”

Litton Das has called out the unpredictable and inconsistent nature of the Mirpur pitch in a candid interview. The Bangladesh star says practicing at Sher-e-Bangla can harm a batter’s technique more than improve it.

www.bdcrictime.com

Bangladesh are getting ready for a new era of T20Is with Litton Das as captain. The stylish right-hander has started a new conversation about the Mirpur pitch, which has been a problem in the country's cricketing environment for a long time.

Litton wasn't shy when he talked about how unpredictable the wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, in an exclusive chat with Utpal Shuvro, a top writer at Prothom Alo. The 30-year-old said that practicing on this pitch often might hurt a batter's skill instead of helping it.

“Before I joined the national team, I used to practice in Rangpur, Bogura, Chattogram, Rajshahi — all had pretty decent wickets,” Litton said. “Even BKSP had good surfaces. When you bat regularly on good pitches, your playing pattern aligns with that. But after entering the national team and practicing consistently here at Mirpur — I honestly feel there's a bigger chance of becoming worse rather than better.”

Litton reflected on how the Mirpur pitch affected his natural game, “Practicing here regularly, I lost some of my own signature shots. Doubt started creeping in. That doubt slowly pulled my skill level down. I couldn’t play with the same confidence.”

The core of Litton’s frustration lies in the unpredictable bounce and inconsistent behavior of the Mirpur surface. “It’s not a problem if you know the ball will swing or turn. But when you have no clue what the ball will do after pitching, it becomes incredibly difficult. Batters have less than a second to react. If it was just me struggling, fine. But everyone struggles here.”

He further elaborated that even bowlers are unsure of what the pitch will offer. “A pitch like in New Zealand — you know it'll bounce and swing, but it won’t turn or keep low. So you prepare accordingly. But here in Mirpur? The same delivery might turn sharply, or stay low, or bounce unexpectedly. Even bowlers don’t know how the ball will behave. How do you adjust to that?”

Litton also dismissed the idea that players should simply adapt to conditions like these, pointing out that foreign conditions offer at least some consistency to base preparation on. “Adaptability is a different concept. Of course we struggle abroad at first, but after 7-8 days, we manage to adjust. If we couldn’t adjust at all, no Bangladeshi batter would survive there. But here? There’s no baseline. No one knows what’s coming next.”

All BD did was oust their former government in power. Many democratic countries also do that through elections. BD is not looking to pick a fight with India or any other countries. The unstability has kind of eased out now under new caretaker government.

Indian team will fine and with proper security as it's a very profitable series for BD.

We hope to cordially work with new regime in Bangladesh for the benefit of people.
