India Set to Tour Bangladesh in August 2025 for Thrilling White-Ball Series
In a much-anticipated announcement, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have confirmed that Team India will tour Bangladesh in August 2025 for a captivating six-match white-ball series. The tour will include three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), promising high-octane cricket action between two fierce rivals.
The series is scheduled to commence on August 17, 2025, and will conclude on August 31, 2025. Matches will be hosted across two iconic venues in Bangladesh: the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Mirpur and the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) in Chattogram. These venues have historically witnessed thrilling encounters between the two sides, and fans can expect nothing less this time around.
This tour comes at a crucial juncture for both teams. For India, it will serve as vital preparation ahead of major international tournaments, allowing them to fine-tune their white-ball strategies. Meanwhile, Bangladesh, known for their competitive edge at home, will look to challenge the Indian juggernaut with their spin-heavy attack and passionate crowd support. The rivalry has grown in intensity over the years, with Bangladesh pulling off memorable upsets, including their historic ODI series win against India in 2022.

The series schedule has been thoughtfully planned to balance travel and recovery time for the players, with matches evenly distributed between the two cities. Mirpur, often considered a fortress for Bangladesh due to its spin-friendly conditions, will host the majority of the games, including the series finale on August 31.
Historically, India holds a dominant record against Bangladesh in white-ball formats, with 31 wins in 40 ODIs and 13 wins in 14 T20Is as of early 2023. However, Bangladesh’s recent resurgence, especially in ODIs, makes this series a must-watch. Key players to watch out for include India’s Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have consistently performed against Bangladesh, and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan, whose all-round prowess could tilt the balance.
As the countdown to August 2025 begins, cricket fans across the subcontinent are gearing up for a blockbuster series. Will India continue their dominance, or will Bangladesh capitalize on home advantage to script another chapter of glory? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—this series will be a feast of cricketing excellence.
