The Test series will be the first assignment in the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle for both the teams. The Test series is also important for Sri Lanka because they do not don the whites again till mid-2026.
The T20Is will also be of major importance for both the teams as Sri Lanka will co host the 2026 T20 World Cup alongside India. Sri Lanka will aim to fine tune their preparations with regards to the tournament while Bangladesh, who have appointed Litton Das as their new T20I captain, will try to assess the conditions with hopes of doing well at the World Cup.
The series starts on June 17 and ends on July 16.

Doubts over India's tour to Bangladesh
Media reports suggest India's tour to Bangladesh scheduled for August-September might not go ahead as planned due to a provocative statement by a retired army official. “If India attacks Pakistan, Bangladesh should occupy the seven states of North-East India. In this regard, I think it is necessary to start a discussion on a joint-military system with China," Maj Gen (retired) ALM Fazlur Rahman, considered a close aide of Bangladesh ruler Mohammed Yunus, said in a Facebook post, triggering reactions from India.
However, nothing has been made official regarding the Bangladesh tour till now.
Bangladesh will reportedly play two T20Is in UAE before landing in Pakistan to play five T20Is in May-June.
