Bangladesh women's team's December tour of India postponed; Political tension the main reason?

Official announcement and confirmation of postponement

The Bangladesh women's cricket team's much-anticipated tour of India, scheduled for December for a series of three ODIs and three T20Is, has now been postponed. A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) spokesperson confirmed the news to ESPNcricinfo on Tuesday.

The BCB has received an official letter from the BCCI, stating that the white-ball series will be rescheduled to a 'later date'.

Possible reason for postponement: Political tension

No specific reason for the postponement has been given by the BCCI or the BCB. However, according to reliable sources and media reports, the current political tensions between India and Bangladesh are believed to be a major reason for this decision.

Impact on Cricket Calendar

This series was crucial to the women's cricket calendar, and its postponement will impact the schedule:

  • This series was part of the ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP).
  • These matches were scheduled to be Team India's last international matches before the start of the next edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL).
  • These ODI matches were to mark the start of the new cycle of the Women's ODI Championship, which is crucial for World Cup qualification.
  • The matches were expected to be played in Kolkata and Cuttack.

Men's tour also changed

This is not the first time that cricket tours between the two countries have been rescheduled. Earlier this year, the Indian men's team's tour of Bangladesh (originally scheduled for August 2025) was also extended to September 2026, taking into account the international cricket commitments of both boards and scheduling convenience.

Both the BCCI and BCB will announce the revised dates later. For now, women's cricket fans will have to wait for this exciting series.
