Bangladesh Women’s Cricket Tour of India Poised for Postponement as BCCI Weighs Backup Series

Reports link the likely delay to strained IndiaBangladesh ties following a tribunal sentence for Sheikh Hasina, prompting BCCI to consider a short December home series.

Overview

  • The December tour, slated for three ODIs and three T20Is under the ICC Future Tour Programme, has not received clearance, a BCCI official told Hindustan Times.
  • No revised dates have been announced and original fixtures and venues were never formally published for the series.
  • BCCI officials are exploring a brief home series in the third week of December to keep India’s women active before the Women’s Premier League in early January and a subsequent tour of Australia.
  • Earlier this year, the boards formally deferred the men’s white‑ball series to September 2026, citing international commitments and scheduling convenience in a joint statement.
  • Media coverage connects the scheduling turbulence to deteriorating bilateral relations, including reporting on a Bangladesh tribunal’s death sentence for former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, though the boards have not publicly cited politics.
