Bangladesh women's cricket international schedule

Overview

Bangladesh women’s cricket captain Nigar Sultana Joty announced an extensive overseas tour schedule including stops in Australia, New Zealand, and England to facilitate skill development and earn ICC Future Tour Programme points.

As the team prepares for the ACC Women’s Asia Cup and the 20th Asian Games, the squad has been finalized. Led by Joty with Nahida Akter as vice-captain, the roster includes players such as Shorna Akter, Sobhana Mostary, and Juairiya Ferdous.

For the Asia Cup, Bangladesh is positioned in Group B alongside defending champions Sri Lanka, the UAE, and Indonesia, with their campaign scheduled to begin on August 31.

Following the Asia Cup, the team will compete in the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, which is scheduled to take place from September 17 to 22, 2026.
