India’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh postponed to Sept 2026: BCCI

New Delhi, Jul 5: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have mutually agreed to defer the white-ball series, three ODIs and three Twenty20 Internationals, between Bangladesh and India in August 2025 to September 2026. Security concerns due to the state of unrest in the neighbouring country are believed to be the major factor in the decision taken by the two boards.

“This decision has been reached following discussions between the two boards, taking into account the international cricketing commitments and scheduling convenience of both teams.

“The BCB looks forward to welcoming India in September 2026 for this eagerly anticipated series. Revised dates and fixtures for the tour will be announced in due course,” read the statement by BCCI.

The Tour of Bangladesh was scheduled to begin on August 17, following India’s ongoing five-Test series against England, with the final match scheduled to be played from July 31 to August 4.
