Bangladesh begin their tour of South Africa on 15 November with the first of two Tests at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. The tour runs until 13 December and also includes three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals.
The Tests
The first Test is at the Wanderers from 15 to 19 November, followed by the second at Centurion Park from 23 to 27 November. Both matches are part of the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. Start times for the Tests have not been published in the sources we checked.
The limited-overs matches
The ODIs are at Buffalo Park in East London on 1 December, St George's Park in Gqeberha on 4 December and Newlands in Cape Town on 7 December, all day-night matches starting at 13:30 local time. The T20Is follow at the De Beers Diamond Oval in Kimberley on 10 December (18:00), Willowmoore Park in Benoni on 12 December (14:30) and Centurion Park on 13 December (14:30).
What is still to come
Neither side has announced its squads in the sources we consulted, and no captains or coaches are listed. Cricket South Africa confirmed the fixtures in February as part of its 2026 home international season. Bangladesh have toured South Africa before, including in 2008-09, 2017-18 and 2021-22, and this report should be updated when squads are named.
