The schedule for Bangladesh’s South Africa tour has been released.

The Bangladesh cricket team is set to embark on a comprehensive tour of South Africa this November–December, featuring a full slate of international matches across all formats. The tour will include a two-match Test series, followed by three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). Notably, Bangladesh will return to play a Test match in Centurion after an 18-year hiatus.

The campaign begins on 15 November with the first Test in Johannesburg, followed by the second Test in Centurion from 23 November. Once the red-ball series concludes, attention will shift to white-ball cricket. The ODI series will take place from 1 to 7 December in East London, Gqeberha, and Cape Town, while the T20I series is scheduled between 10 and 13 December in Kimberley, Benoni, and Centurion.

The itinerary was officially released on Monday, detailing that South Africa will host Bangladesh before entering their home fixtures against England. The Proteas will face England in a three-match Test series, followed by a three-match ODI series to round off the domestic season.

South Africa enters this series in fine form, having impressed in the ongoing T20 World Cup. They secured a dominant 76-run victory over defending champions India in the Super Eight stage, demonstrating the depth and potency of their squad. Riding this momentum, the South African Cricket Board has now unveiled their full international schedule for the 2026–27 season.
