Bangladesh tour yet to be approved by BCCI, says BCB president with India scheduled to play three ODIs and three T20Is.
BCCI yet to confirm India’s Bangladesh tour in August, says BCB president.
India’s August visit of Bangladesh has not yet been confirmed by the BCCI, according to BCB president Aminul Islam. He stated that following talks with the Indian government, the BCCI would make a decision about the tour.
“I have already spoken to the BCCI. Discussions have been positive,” Aminul said at a press conference in Dhaka following a six-hour meeting of the BCB’s board of directors. “We remain hopeful. It is scheduled [next month] but they are waiting for some decisions from the government.”
According to him, the BCCI informed the BCB that if they didn’t visit in August, India would tour Bangladesh during the following window. No explanation for the uncertainties around the tour was provided.
“The discussions are ongoing. If for some reason they can’t come [in August], they will come at the next available window. We are hopeful of playing in this window. I can’t say much apart from the fact that they are very professional and cooperative.”
