BCCI Postpones India–Bangladesh Women’s White-Ball Tour

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has deferred the Indian women’s cricket team’s white-ball tour to Bangladesh, originally planned for December 2025. The Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed receiving official communication about the postponement, noting that the series will be rescheduled to a later date.

Decision Follows Regional Tensions

While no formal explanation has been issued, the delay is widely linked to prevailing geopolitical tensions between India and Bangladesh. Similar concerns had earlier affected the Indian men’s limited-overs tour, pushed from August 2025 to September 2026. The situation has led cricket boards to prioritise safety and logistical stability for both players and officials.

Recent Bilateral Cricket History

India last toured Bangladesh in 2024 for a T20I and Test series. The Women in Blue dominated that campaign, sweeping all matches across formats. The teams were expected to resume their competitive rivalry this December through a white-ball series that included both ODIs and T20Is. The postponement pauses this momentum until a more favourable window is confirmed.

Future International Commitments

Despite the delay, the Indian women’s side has a packed calendar ahead. The squad will travel to Australia in February 2026 for a multi-format tour comprising three T20Is, three ODIs, and a one-off Test. Later, in May 2026, the team heads to England for a T20I series. The preparations will culminate in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, also scheduled in England.
