Every year, all teams look to begin with renewed determination, learning from the failures and shortcomings of the past. Bangladesh’s national cricket teams, both men’s and women’s, are no exception, with clear plans for improvement heading into the new year.

As usual, 2026 promises to be a busy one for the representatives of the red and green, particularly for the men’s team. After a hectic start to the year with the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Litton Das and his teammates will travel to India and Sri Lanka to take part in the ICC T20 World Cup.

Except for the month of May, the men’s team will be involved in international cricket throughout the year, both at home and abroad. The schedule includes seven ODI series, five T20I series (including the World Cup), and five Test series.

The women’s team, led by Nigar Sultana Joty, will play three ODI series and five T20I series, which include the T20 World Cup qualifiers and the main tournament.
