The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to put the tour to Bangladesh on hold, hours after it asked Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to release BAN pacer Mustafizur Rahman. The development comes just a day after the three match ODI and T20I series was confirmed to take place in September 2026, a year after it was originally planned to be held. Amid rising tensions between both India and Bangladesh, the BCCI has decided to consult the Indian government before taking a decision on the tour.
India tour to Bangladesh to be cancelled?
As per The Indian Express, the BCCI has put India’s tour to Bangladesh on hold and will consult the Indian government before taking a final call. The report states that the board will communicate to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) about the Indian government’s decisions in the due course of time. A BCCI official told the publication that the tour is doubtful as the Indian government’s approval was needed to play in another country. Further, the official clarified that Bangladesh will play their T20 World Cup 2026 games in India, as per the schedule.
“We didn’t travel to Bangladesh last year too, BCB had issued their international calendar, but it looks doubtful, as we need Indian government approval to play in any other country. As far as the T20I World Cup is concerned, Bangladesh will play as per the scheduled games in India,” a top BCCI official said.
Earlier on Friday, BCB’s cricket operation in-charge Shahriar Nafees confirmed that the series against India had been rescheduled. The ODIs were to be held on September 1, 3 and 6 while the T20Is were to take place between September 9-13. The Indian team was scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh by August 28, as per the report.
