Zimbabwe will land in Bangladesh on April 15, with the first Test set to be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The teams then move to Chattogram to play the second Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium from April 28. The series will not be a part of the World Test Championship (WTC); Zimbabwe are not WTC participants.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have had Test success only overseas of late. They won 2-0 in Pakistan, before sharing the series 1-1 in the West Indies. Bangladesh haven’t won a home Test since November 2023, when they beat New Zealand in Sylhet. They lost 2-0 to both Sri Lanka and South Africa at home in 2024.
The last time Bangladesh hosted a Test against Zimbabwe was in February 2020, when they beat the visitors by an innings and 106 runs. The last time the two teams played each other in a Test was in July 2021, with Bangladesh winning by 220 runs in Harare.
