Jalal Yunus, chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's cricket operations department (BCB) said Australia are set to tour Bangladesh in 2026 and Tigers will visit Aussies in 2027 after 19 years gap.
Bangladesh will play 40 Tests, 70 ODIs, and 76 T20Is (apart from ICC tournaments) in the next cycle (2023-2027), according to the ICC's Future Tour Programme (FTP).
Bangladesh don't often tour countries like Australia and England and the BCB is trying to arrange tours to these countries.
Bangladesh last visited Australia in 2008 and they are scheduled to tour for a two-match Test series after a 19-year absence.

"Bangladesh are expected to tour Australia in 2027 for two Tests. They will visit Bangladesh in 2026. There are series against England, Australia, South Africa and of course the West Indies in the next cycle," Jalal Yunus said.
"We have been discussing it with the ECB but nothing has been confirmed as of now. We are trying to arrange a series between Bangladesh and England in England. I hope that we'll get a positive response from them" he added.
"As of now, we have confirmed 40-plus Tests, 70-plus ODIs and 76-plus T20Is [for the 2023-2027 period]. A few things might change though. But these are the numbers excluding the ICC events. Besides, we might play some triangular series as well."
Bangladesh's next international assignment is a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.
