3 ODIs and 3T20s were scheduled for Team India in Bangladesh from August 17.
India's tour of Bangladesh has been officially cancelled by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. BCCI and BCB have confirmed this update on July 5, 2025. This tour was scheduled from August 17 to 31, 2025, with 3ODI and 3T20 matches, and has now been postponed to September 2026.
The decision came after a mutual discussion considering the tight international schedule and other reasons. The Bangladesh cricket board has expressed their hope to host team India next year in 2026, with revised dates and fixtures to be announced soon.
The cancellation of this tour is expected due to political problems and security concerns. The first indication came when the Bangladesh cricket board paused its media rights sale, which depended on India’s visit. Since India’s tour of Bangladesh brought major revenue, the BCB waited for the BCCI’s reply. Now, with the confirmation that the series has been cancelled for almost a year, the focus shifts to focus on future matches.
The cancellation of this tour may be a setback for the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The host team, like Team India, is not only a matter of cricket but a remarkable financial and diplomatic engagement. For a fan, it means a missed opportunity to see exciting cricket between these two teams. The revised series in 2026 will now carry more expectation, not just for cricket actions but also a positive indication of a good relationship between India and Bangladesh, the two neighbours.
Team India last travelled to Bangladesh to play 3 one-day international matches and 2 T20 matches in December 2022, and the Bangladesh Cricket Team travelled to India in 2024. September to October to play 2 Tests and 2T20.
