With the postponement, both teams will now have to revise their preparation plans while awaiting a fresh schedule for what was expected to be an important chapter in their international season.

The Bangladesh women’s cricket team’s tour of India, originally scheduled for December as part of a white-ball series, has been officially postponed. A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) spokesperson confirmed the development on Tuesday, noting that the board had received a formal communication from the BCCI stating that the series would be rescheduled to a later date, as reported by ESPNcricinfo. While neither board has offered a detailed explanation, it is widely understood that the current political tensions between India and Bangladesh played a significant role in the decision.

The tour was set to feature both ODI and T20I matches under the ICC Future Tours Programme and would have been India’s final international assignment before the next edition of the Women’s Premier League. The fixtures, scheduled in Kolkata and Cuttack, were also expected to mark the beginning of a new Women’s ODI Championship cycle for both sides following India’s triumphant Women’s ODI World Cup campaign earlier this month. The postponement now leaves a gap in India’s build-up to next year’s domestic and international season.

This is not the first time a bilateral series between the two nations has been shifted. Earlier, the Indian men’s team’s white-ball tour to Bangladesh, initially slated for August 2025, was also moved to September 2026. In a statement issued by the BCCI, it was clarified that both boards had mutually agreed to defer the women’s white-ball series consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is. The joint announcement reaffirmed that the boards would work together to identify a new window for the matches at a later stage.

India’s White-Ball Tour Of Bangladesh Postponed To September 2026; BCCI Releases Statement

India’s white-ball cricket tour of Bangladesh, which was originally scheduled for August 2025, has now been postponed to September 2026. The tour includes three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three T20 Internationals (T20Is).

The decision was made after discussions between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Both boards agreed to shift the series due to busy international schedules and other commitments.

The BCB said it looks forward to welcoming the Indian team next year. The new dates and match details will be announced later.

This rescheduling ensures that the series will still take place, giving both teams enough time to prepare and manage their packed cricket calendars.
