Srinagar: The multiple reports have said that Team India’s scheduled tour of Bangladesh next month, featuring three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), has been postponed indefinitely.

The tour, originally set to take place from August 17 to 31, has reportedly been delayed following a directive from the Indian government to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), citing rising political tensions between the two countries as the reason behind the decision.

However, neither the BCCI nor the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially confirmed the postponement.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board had already begun preparations for the series, including the sale of media rights, which have now been put on hold. Broadcasters were also informed that the series will not proceed as originally planned.

Despite the developments, both cricket boards have remained tight-lipped. A BCB official, speaking to media on condition of anonymity, stated:

 “The date for the India series hasn’t been fixed yet. They (the BCCI) said it’s difficult for them to come in August. This is part of the Future Tours Programme (FTP).”

A BCCI source quoted in a report said that a final decision is expected within a week and hinted that a joint statement from both boards could be issued soon regarding the tour’s status.
