The Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced that the team will head to Bangladesh in mid-October for an exciting white-ball series. The two sides will play three ODIs and three T20Is, giving both squads a chance to fine-tune their line-ups ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
According to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), the ODIs will be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, while the T20Is will take place at the Bir Shrestho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Cricket Stadium in Chattogram.

Busy Road Ahead for West Indies
For the West Indies, this Bangladesh tour is just one part of a hectic end to 2025. Their international calendar is packed, with CWI confirming 22 matches across formats after already hosting Australia and Pakistan at home.
The overseas run will begin with a historic three-match T20I series against Nepal in Sharjah on September 27, 29, and 30. This will be the very first bilateral T20 series between the two nations. From there, they move to Bangladesh for the six white-ball matches.
The tour continues in November and December with a full-format series in New Zealand that stretches from November 5 to December 22. It includes five T20Is, three ODIs, and three Tests, which will also count as their third Test series in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle.
