Bangladesh’s men’s cricket team will tour England for a historic one-off Test at Lord’s in May 2027, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Thursday as part of its international fixtures announcement.
The Test is scheduled to begin on May 28 at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London and will mark Bangladesh’s first men’s Test in England since 2010. Bangladesh have previously played England at Lord’s once, in 2005.
Alongside the men’s tour, the Bangladesh women’s team will also travel to England later that year for a six-match white-ball series comprising three Vitality Women’s T20 Internationals and three Metro Bank Women’s One-Day Internationals.
ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould welcomed Bangladesh’s return to England, saying both tours would strengthen the cricketing ties between the two nations.
“We are excited to welcome Bangladesh Men for a one-off Test at Lord’s, which will be the first time we have played them at home in a Test since 2010, while also hosting Bangladesh Women in a white-ball series,” Gould said in an ECB release.
The women’s tour will begin with the opening T20I at Northampton on September 8, followed by the second and third matches in Taunton and Worcester on September 10 and 12 respectively.
The teams will then switch to the ODI format, with matches scheduled in Hove on September 17, Canterbury on September 21 and Chelmsford on September 24.
