LAHORE: The Pakistan team’s all-format tour of Bangladesh is set to be moved to a different window after a scheduling clash with the 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

According to the Future Tours Programme (FTP), Pakistan was scheduled to tour Bangladesh in March–April 2026 for a full series comprising two ICC World Test Championship matches, three One-Day Internationals, and three T20 Internationals. As PSL-11 will run from March 26 to May 3, 2026, creating a direct overlap.

A source in the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that the series will be rescheduled. “The series will be rescheduled,” the source said, adding that discussions are ongoing between the two boards. The source emphasised that the number of matches will not be reduced, though ODI and T20I fixtures may be reshuffled within the series if required. An official announcement is expected after consultation with the PCB.
