The Bangladesh Cricket Board has reportedly reached out to the BCCI regarding the series, and the Indian board is now awaiting a formal response from the central government.
Cricket relations between the two countries have been affected by political instability and diplomatic tensions over the past two years. While recent changes in the Bangladeshi government have led to renewed interest in hosting bilateral cricket, the BCCI remains cautious. The board is prioritising government guidance to navigate security concerns and the broader political climate before committing to any international fixtures in the region.
