India’s Tour of Bangladesh May Be Rescheduled

July 3, 2025

Kathmandu –  India’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh scheduled for August may be rescheduled, according to a senior Bangladesh cricket official. The tour, which requires approval from the Indian government, is currently under uncertainty.

The series, which includes three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three T20 Internationals, is set to begin on August 17 in Dhaka.

However, Iftikhar Rahman, Chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) media committee, stated on Wednesday that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed them that the tour could be delayed.

The BCCI has not made any public comments on the matter.

“This tour is part of the ICC’s Future Tours Programme (FTP), so cancellation is not an option. However, it can be rescheduled to a mutually convenient time,” Rahman said, without providing further details.

According to BCB sources, the tour is awaiting clearance from the Indian government.

The uncertainty comes amid recent diplomatic tensions between Dhaka and New Delhi following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during a popular uprising in Bangladesh in August 2024.

Bangladesh had toured India in September–October 2024 for two Test matches and two T20Is.
