Bilateral cricket between India and Bangladesh may be postponed due to escalating political tensions. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a six-match series for September, but the BCCI is reportedly reluctant to tour amid ongoing political violence in Bangladesh. This reluctance is also indicated by the BCCI's instruction to an IPL franchise to release a Bangladeshi player. The situation could potentially mirror India-Pakistan cricket relations, which are played at neutral venues due to strained diplomatic ties.
