India's upcoming white-ball cricket tour of Bangladesh has been put on hold by the BCCI, pending Indian government approval, due to political instability and civil unrest in Bangladesh. This decision follows the BCCI instructing IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders to release Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman. While the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had announced a September series, the BCCI remains non-committal, citing safety concerns and the need for government clearance. The situation raises concerns about future bilateral cricket, potentially mirroring India-Pakistan relations.
