Bangladesh’s scheduled women’s cricket tour of India, which was set to feature three ODIs and three T20Is in December, has been postponed indefinitely. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the indefinite delay, citing communication received from the BCCI regarding the rescheduling of the white-ball encounters. The exact rationale behind the postponement has not been publicly disclosed, but it is strongly suggested that the prevailing political tensions between the two nations were a significant factor. This series was a key fixture under the ICC’s Future Tours Programme, intended to be India’s final international outing before the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL). It also acted as the sole series for the Indian women’s team between their successful ODI World Cup campaign and the start of the WPL. The series was planned to be hosted in Kolkata and Cuttack, with the ODIs designated to initiate the new Women’s ODI Championship phase for both teams. This postponement follows a similar reshuffling of the Indian men’s team’s white-ball tour to Bangladesh, which was moved from August 2025 to September 2026. The BCCI and BCB are expected to release revised dates for the women’s series at a later stage.
