DHAKA, Sept 8, 2026 (BSS)—The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today announced the itinerary for the home series against West Indies.

The Caribbean side will visit Bangladesh in October-November for two-match Test series, which is the part of ICC World Test Championship (WTC).

Bangladesh currently sit at the fourth spot of the WTC standing and have genuine chance to make it to the final for the first time.

Their standing was improved following a historical Test victory against Australia last month. They, though, lost the second Test to draw the series eventually on Australian soil, the performance made them favorite in this WTC cycle.

West Indies, meanwhile, are in eighth position in the WTC standing at this moment.

Bangladesh will start as clear favourite in the series and victory in two Tests would help them make giant stride toward the final.

According to the schedule released by the BCB, the West Indies will arrive in Bangladesh on October 18.

The visitors will play a three-day warm-up game at Bashundhara Sports Complex in Dhaka from October 22-24.

The first Test will be held from October 28-November 1 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Sylhet International Cricket Stadium will host the second and final Test from November 5-9.
