Cricket Hit by Political Tensions
The worsening diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh could put bilateral cricket between the two nations in cold storage for some time as the BCCI is unlikely to tour the neighbouring country despite the announcement of an engagement by the BCB.
On Friday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said that a six-match white-ball series would be played in September. It even announced the dates, claiming to have consulted the BCCI.
As per the BCB's schedule, three ODIs will be played on September 1, 3 and 6, while the T20Is will be played on September 9, 12 and 13 after the Indian team reaches Bangladesh on August 28.
