The Bangladeski team should continue the international cricket in April with a two -match test series against the National Zimbabwe team team. The Bangladesh Cricket Committee (BCB) officially confirmed the schedule for the upcoming Red Ball series against Zimbabwe, which will be held after the Eid.
Bangladesh endured a disappointing campaign at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and their last match against Pakistan was washed without a ball. They finished the second last on the ladder with a superior net run (NRR) from the host of Pakistan, who finished last.

Determination for the upcoming series is yet to be announced. Significant is that this series will not be part of the World Cup cycle (WTC).
We decided to play a test series in Chattogram and Sylhet because … – BCB Officer
On Saturday, Cricbuzza’s Cricket Crisque officer discovered that Dhaka was not considered a series against Zimbabwe.
The decision was made because the National Stadium of Sher-E-Bangla (SBNS) is currently hosted by the Dhaka Premier League match (DPL), leading the country, and the tournament is the tournament.
“We regularly have DPL matches in SBNS, so we decided to play a test series in Chattogram and Sylhet, because you will get Wikets there, which will rest enough, until that would be the case in Daki,” the clerk said.
The National Sher-E-Blgga National Stadium in Daki was a key place for a Bangladesh test match. However, the last time he was not hosted by the test was in March 2024, when Sri Lanka visited Bangladesh for a two -game test series. Both matches were played in Sylhet and Chattogram.
Bangladesh secured his first test victory against Zimbabwe
Bangladesh secured his first test victory, beating Zimbabwe for 226 running in Chittagong on January 10, 2005. This historic victory came in their 35th test match, more than four years after receiving test status in 2000.
The first test of the series took place at the Ma Aziz Stadium in Chittagong, where Bangladesh released 488 rides in the first Ubacs, with key contributions to Habibul Bashara (94), Rajin Saleh (89) and Mohammad Rafique (69).
Zimbabwe responded with 312 runs, giving Bangladesh a lead of 176 running. In the second Ubac, Bangladesh declared 204/9, setting a goal of 381 rides for Zimbabwe. Visitors then knocked out 154 because Bangladesh sealed a 226 victory.
