New Delhi: India’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh is close to approval and to accommodate the fixtures, the proposed three T20Is against Afghanistan may be postponed. According to the proposed schedule circulated internally, India was set to take on Afghanistan starting on September 13 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.It is reliably learned that talks are underway to push back the start of that short series to September 17 which would allow enough window after the Sri Lanka Tests to host a short tour of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) wants to have a six-match white-ball series in September. At the beginning of the month, the BCB is putting its television and digital media rights up for sale. This happened a week after India resumed issuing tourist visas to Bangladeshi citizens, almost two years after the suspension following political unrest in Bangladesh in 2024.“We have hope for the tour. We still don’t have the green signal from the BCCIbut they still didn’t say they weren’t coming. So we hope to get a positive response from the BCCI soon,” a BCB official told this site.Sources close to the newly elected president of the BCB, Tamim Iqbalsaid the former Bangladesh captain returned from the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland with some positive signs.The series was originally scheduled for last year, but was postponed due to political tensions between the two countries.After being appointed BCB manager, Tamim had told TimesofIndia.com that he was hopeful about the series.“There is a series scheduled against India later this year. I am very hopeful that India will come to play the series. This is a bilateral series that the people of Bangladesh really like to see. Bangladesh did really well in the last series against India,” Tamim had said.Now it seems that the bridges are clear for India to travel to Bangladesh after a gap of four years.
