Overview
- BCB president Tamim Iqbal said this week that exchanges with the BCCI have been positive and he is hopeful India will play a six-match white-ball series in Bangladesh in September 2026.
- The proposed programme would include three one-day internationals and three T20 internationals but the boards have not issued a formal confirmation of the tour.
- Security and diplomatic concerns that have previously disrupted ties between the two countries continue to influence the talks and are part of what must be resolved before a decision is made.
- Operational factors including government approvals, broadcaster tender conditions from an earlier BCB media EOI, and calendar clashes mean the tour remains conditional and tentatively planned.
- If India agrees to visit Bangladesh, India’s scheduled September T20I series with Afghanistan is expected to be postponed, which would create knock-on effects for broadcasters and players.
