Pakistan in Bangladesh 2025/26

The Pakistan in Bangladesh series is a bilateral cricket arrangement governed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Scheduled under the ICC Future Tours Programme (FTP), the fixture involves national teams rather than domestic clubs, sitting outside the traditional league pyramid.

The series format is flexible, typically comprising two Test matches, three One Day Internationals (ODIs), or between three and five Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). There is no promotion or relegation involved, as the contest is strictly between two sovereign nations. The rivalry commenced with an ODI in 1986, though dedicated bilateral series began later, with the first Test match played in 2001 and the first ODI series in 2004.

Pakistan has historically held a dominant position in the fixture, winning twelve of thirteen Tests and all bilateral T20I series, while leading the ODI count 34–5. However, Bangladesh secured a historic 2–0 Test series victory in Pakistan in August 2024, marking their first Test series win in the country. The most recent 2025 T20I series was won by Pakistan 3–2.

The schedule has experienced significant gaps due to security and political concerns, particularly between 2015 and 2022, before resuming regular tours under the FTP. This bilateral arrangement remains distinct from multi-team tournaments like the Asia Cup or World Cup, where results are tracked separately from bilateral series records despite counting toward overall head-to-head statistics.
