New Delhi: After the conclusion of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the Indian team was scheduled to take on Bangladesh in a white-ball series consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is. The ODIs were slated to be held on August 17, 20, and 23. Whereas, the T20I matches will be held on August 26, 29, and 31.
However, in a major development, the series between Bangladesh and India seems to be effectively off. It is worth noting that the preparations for the white-ball series between the two teams have been put on hold by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
Notably, the deteriorating diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh are being touted as a reason for the series being put on hold. One of the biggest signs of the series being cancelled or postponed was the BCB putting the tour’s media rights sales on hold.
The bidding for the same was slated to be held on July 7, with the financial bidding scheduled for July 10. “We will continue, we will take time to research the market. There is no point in rushing things. We can give different contracts,” a BCB official was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
