All three T20Is will be played at the iconic venue Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on July 20, 22, and 24.

However, this T20I series wasn’t part of the ICC Future Tours Programme (FTP). This series was confirmed after discussions between the PCB and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which was held in Pakistan and the UAE.
Recently, Bangladesh traveled to Pakistan for a three-match T20I series, and Litton Das’ team was whitewashed by the hosts. It was the first official assignment for Pakistan’s new white-ball head coach, Mike Hesson.
Pakistan will face West Indies in the white-ball series after Bangladesh tour
After completing their white-ball tour of Bangladesh, they are scheduled to take on the West Indies in another white-ball series. Interestingly, the three T20Is against the West Indies are planned to be played in the United States, scheduled for July 31, August 2, and August 3.
On the other hand, the ODI series between Pakistan and the West Indies was originally scheduled for August 8, 10, and 12 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad, but it is likely that they will be replaced by T20Is, keeping in mind the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
The PCB and Cricket West Indies (CWI) are currently discussing this possibility to allow both sides better preparation for next year’s mega event. If approved, Pakistan will play more than six T20Is through July and August, offering both match practice and experimentation before the big events.
