Overview
- The BCB, which met Saturday in Dhaka, confirmed it had emailed the BCCI to discuss India’s proposed six‑match white‑ball tour in September 2026 and a reciprocal women’s series.
- Relations soured after the BCCI told Kolkata Knight Riders to release Mustafizur Rahman before IPL 2026, Bangladesh sought to move its T20 World Cup games from India, the ICC rejected the request, and Scotland replaced Bangladesh in the tournament.
- Board instability deepened with a fresh wave of director resignations, and an investigation into the World Cup pullout is due to report on April 9, a step that could shape the BCB’s leadership and governance.
- Seeking on‑field stability, the BCB kept Mehidy Hasan Miraz as ODI captain through the 2027 World Cup and Litton Das as T20I captain through 2028, and it hired former spinner Mohammad Rafique as a one‑year spin consultant.
- A BCCI source told PTI the BCB wants the tour to help cover its yearly budget through broadcast revenues, while media in India reported a tentative match list that still awaits final confirmation by both boards.
