Tamim Iqbal Confirms Ongoing Talks with BCCI on Rescheduling India-Bangladesh Cricket Series
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Tamim Iqbal acknowledged that Bangladesh could have managed the 2026 T20 World Cup withdrawal more effectively, emphasizing that the team should have participated despite diplomatic tensions with India following the Mustafizur Rahman IPL incident. He confirmed ongoing discussions with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to reschedule a long-delayed home white-ball series, originally planned for 2025 but postponed due to scheduling conflicts and strained relations. Both boards remain hopeful and committed to finding a suitable window for the series.
