India tour of Bangladesh cancelled: Report: The much-awaited three-match ODI series between India and Bangladesh to be held in August 2025 will no longer be played. According to official information, the series was to be held in Bangladesh from August 17, but now it has been canceled.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) were in discussion about the schedule for the past few weeks.

The reasons for the cancellation are being cited as logistical challenges, workload management of players and busyness with other tournaments.

India's tour of Bangladesh is now almost postponed. Although there has been no official announcement yet, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has stopped preparations for the ODI and T20 series to be held next month. In case the series is postponed, fans will have to wait a bit to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODIs.Because in August, Team India was also supposed to play 3 ODIs in Bangladesh, where Rohit and Kohli could be seen playing. Keep in mind that now fans will only see these two legends playing in ODIs (One Day Internationals) at the international level.
In such a situation, now fans will have to wait for the ODI series against Australia in October to see ROKO (Rohit-Kohli). According to the report of Cricbuzz, the biggest reason for the postponement of the series between India and Bangladesh is believed to be the deteriorating diplomatic relations between the two countries, the effect of which is now visible on cricket as well.

A BCB official said that the date of the India series has not been decided yet. The BCCI has said that it is difficult for them to send the team in August. This tour is part of the FTP (Future Tour Program). There has been no clear statement from the BCCI yet, but a senior official said that a decision can be taken on this within a week.
It is possible that BCCI and BCB together issue a joint statement regarding this series soon. India had to play three ODIs and three T20 matches between 17 and 31 August.
The atmosphere in India is not favorable for the Bangladesh tour at the moment. Recently, relations between the two countries have become tense, the effect of which is also visible on cricket. Although no official statement has come from India or Bangladesh so far, it is believed that the Indian government has advised the BCCI not to undertake this tour. This has been indicated in conversations with those who are directly associated with this series.
