Discussions Going Around India Series, Says Bangladesh Chief Tamim Iqbal
The two boards are still discussing dates and venues as India’s six-match white-ball tour remains unsettled, with a September 3 start no longer certain.
- Bangladesh Cricket Board President Tamim Iqbal hinted that India's tour of Bangladesh, scheduled for early next month, may be postponed again as both boards remain 'in discussions' about the series.
- Originally planned for August last year, the tour was deferred to September 2026 after tensions flared when the Kolkata Knight Riders withdrew Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL, prompting the BCB to refuse sending the team to the T20 World Cup.
- Tamim announced the Game Development Trophy, an age-group tournament running August 28 to September 9 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, which could be shifted if the India series is finalized.
- India confirmed a three-match T20I series against Afghanistan in New Delhi, which observers believe signals further delays for the Bangladesh tour, as the BCCI has not publicly announced the Bangladesh itinerary.
- Relations between the boards thawed after Tamim visited the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru earlier this month, though both remain 'in discussions' regarding potential series dates.
