India’s scheduled white-ball tour of Bangladesh in August 2025 has been officially deferred to September 2026, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Saturday.
The BCB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made the decision to postpone the three-match ODI and three-match T20I series mutually, citing international calendar constraints and scheduling convenience for both sides, UNB reports.
“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 said in a statement.
Originally slated for August 2025, the series was already under doubt due to political considerations and fixture congestion.
BCB President Aminul Islam had earlier hinted that the series might not go ahead as planned, pending clearance from Indian authorities and availability within a packed calendar.
With the postponement now formalized, Bangladesh will have to wait until September 2026 to host their high-profile neighbours in a bilateral white-ball series.
The BCB said revised dates and fixtures for the tour will be announced later.
Despite the delay, BCB remains upbeat.
“The BCB looks forward to welcoming India in September 2026 for this eagerly anticipated series,” the board stated.
