BCCI to seek Indian government approval for proposed cricket tour of Bangladesh

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) plans to consult the Indian government before deciding on a proposed cricket tour of Bangladesh. The decision follows a period of strained bilateral relations and political instability in Bangladesh, which has previously impacted cricket ties between the two nations. While the Bangladesh Cricket Board has expressed interest in hosting the series, the BCCI maintains that it cannot proceed with the tour without official guidance and clearance from New Delhi.

What Happened

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is preparing to approach the Indian government to seek approval and clarity regarding a proposed cricket tour of Bangladesh. Officials from the board have stated that they are unable to make an independent decision on the matter due to the complex nature of the current bilateral relationship. 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.

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.
