The Indian cricket team is scheduled to visit Bangladesh on August 13 to play an ODI and T20 series. The schedule for this series of three ODI and T20 matches was published two months ago.
Delhi does not approve Indian team’s tour of Bangladesh
But BBC Bangla, citing several top government sources in Delhi, reported that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet received the green light from the central government to tour Bangladesh. As a result, the series is unlikely to be held on schedule.
BBC Bangla reported that there are indications that the Indian government is not approving the Indian cricket team’s tour of Bangladesh for ‘political reasons’. Delhi believes that the current cold diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh and the ‘negative attitude’ seen in India regarding the situation in Bangladesh will not send any positive message to the Indian cricket team’s tour of Bangladesh. A reliable source in the Indian Home Ministry told the BBC in Delhi. According to the schedule, India is scheduled to play the first ODI against Bangladesh in Mirpur from August 17. India is scheduled to leave Dhaka on September 1 after the ODI and T20 series by August 31. But last month, the Indian media outlet The Times of India reported that India’s tour of Bangladesh was uncertain due to the current situation. The reason behind this was a controversial comment made by a former Bangladeshi military officer about the India-Pakistan tensions.
