India’s tour to Bangladesh rescheduled

Agency:

The Indian men’s cricket team’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh has been rescheduled, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Saturday.

The three ODIs and three Twenty20 Internationals have been shifted from August 2025 to September 2026.

“This decision has been reached following discussions between the two Boards, taking into account the international cricketing commitments and scheduling convenience of both teams,” the BCCI wrote in a statement.

It also announced that revised dates and fixtures for the tour will be announced in due course.
Earlier in the week, Bangladesh Cricket Board sources said that the tour was awaiting clearance from the Indian government, a development also reported in the Indian media.

The uncertainty follows recent diplomatic tensions between Dhaka and New Delhi after a mass uprising in Bangladesh led to the ousting of then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024.
Bangladesh had toured India in September-October 2024 for two Tests and two T20Is.
