Bangladesh Women's tour of India postponed amid political tensions

Bangladesh's women's cricket tour of India has been postponed, with both boards citing scheduling pressures amid heightened political tensions, according to Indian English News Channel India Today.

The two teams were scheduled to play three ODIs and three T20Is in December.

The Bangladesh Women's cricket team's scheduled tour of India, comprising three ODIs and three T20Is in December under the ICC Future Tours Programme, has reportedly been postponed amid escalating political tensions between the two countries.

The development follows the recent ruling by a Dhaka tribunal, which sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death in absentia for crimes against humanity, a verdict that has deepened strains in bilateral relations.

According to reports in ESPNcricinfo, the Bangladesh

Cricket Board (BCB) has received official communication from the BCCI confirming that the white-ball series will be rescheduled. While neither board has publicly clarified the reason for the postponement, sources suggest that the sensitive political climate surrounding Hasina's

conviction is a key factor behind the decision.

For India's women cricketers, the postponement comes at an inopportune

moment.
