Bangladesh and India’s cricket boards are negotiating a September schedule for international matches, pending approval from the Indian government. The planned Afghanistan T20I series may be postponed if the window is not confirmed.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are working together to secure a September window for international fixtures, according to sources. The proposal is still subject to approval from the Indian government before any official schedule can be released.
Both boards have expressed a keen interest in hosting a series of matches that would include Bangladesh, India and potentially Afghanistan. However, the exact dates and venues remain to be confirmed pending the government’s nod.
The uncertainty around the September window has raised questions about the Afghanistan T20I series that was originally slated for the same period. Officials have indicated that the series could be postponed if the window is not finalized.
The outcome of these negotiations will affect not only the players and fans but also the logistics and broadcasting arrangements for the upcoming cricket season.
