Crucial build-up to Asia Cup T20
This tour will also serve as important preparation ahead of the Asia Cup T20, which India is scheduled to host. However, the final venue of the continental tournament remains uncertain, with possibilities including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, or the UAE, due to the ongoing agreement preventing Pakistan from touring India.
BCB confident of a competitive series
BCB chief executive Nizam Uddin Chowdhury described the upcoming series as one of the most exciting and highly anticipated events on Bangladesh’s cricket calendar. He said the Indian team has consistently set high standards in international cricket across all formats, and fans in both countries are expected to enjoy the contest.
Chowdhury added that recent encounters between Bangladesh and India have been closely fought, and he expressed confidence that this tour would produce similarly hard-fought and entertaining matches. (With PTI inputs)
