The Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Bangladesh Cricket Board have jointly postponed India’s six-match white-ball tour of Bangladesh by more than a year, moving the three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals from the 17-31 August 2025 window to September 2026. In a media advisory issued on 5 July, the BCCI said the decision followed discussions that weighed both teams’ international commitments and “scheduling convenience.” The announcement formalises a two-day swirl of reports that the Indian government had withheld security clearance amid heightened diplomatic and trade frictions with Dhaka, prompting the boards to scrap the original dates. Revised fixtures will be released closer to 2026, and the BCB said it “looks forward to welcoming India” then. The deferral leaves Bangladesh without a high-profile home series this August and pushes back India’s next away assignment in the subcontinent under the ICC Future Tours Programme.
