Malaysia in Bangladesh 2026/27

The Malaysia in Bangladesh 2026 series is not a standing domestic competition or league, but a specific bilateral cricket tour scheduled for August 2026. Organized by the Malaysian Cricket Association and the Bangladesh Cricket Board, the series consists of five unofficial matches played in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The first part comprises two Unofficial T20 Internationals between the Malaysia national team and the Bangladesh High Performance XI, a developmental squad ranked below the senior national team and Bangladesh A. These matches took place on August 8 and 10, 2026, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. Bangladesh High Performance XI won both matches, taking a 2-0 series victory. The second part consists of three Unofficial One-Day Internationals between the Malaysia national team and the Bangladesh Under-23s. These matches were held on August 12, 14, and 16, 2026, at the Bashundhara Sports City Cricket Ground. Bangladesh Under-23s is a youth developmental side. Because one side in each pairing is not a full senior national team, the matches do not carry official T20I or ODI status for ICC ranking purposes. Historically, senior men's bilateral series between Bangladesh and Malaysia are rare due to Malaysia's Associate Member status; previous encounters included a Bangladesh A tour in 2017 and a Bangladesh Women's tour in 2022. This 2026 tour marks the first recorded bilateral series involving Bangladesh's specific U-23 and High Performance XI sides against Malaysia.
