Bangladesh is scheduled to host India for 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is starting from August 17, which is now unlikely due to political pressure.
In a recent development regarding the India tour of Bangladesh, BCB President Aminul Islam said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is waiting for the Indian Government's clearance to proceed with the tour.
"It's not like (hosting India) in August or September. We are having discussions on how we can do the series, and if we cannot host it now, we will do it at another possible time. They (BCCI) are waiting for some government clearance," the BCB President said.
