IND vs BAN: The Men in Blue were all set to go to Bangladesh later this year for a white-ball series, which consisted of three ODIs and as many T20Is. The Sher Bangla National Stadium and Bir Shreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium were supposed to host matches for this series. But as per Times Of India, there are high chances that this series won't be held owing to political tensions between India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
“The tour is part of the calendar, but nothing is final yet. There is a bright possibility of India not touring Bangladesh for the ODIs and T20Is because of the current situation," a source was quoted as saying to the Times Of India.
A retired Bangladesh army officer, who is quite close to the interim government, was involved in a recent controversy as he reckoned that Bangladesh should occupy India's northeastern states. Major General ALM Fazlur Rahman also suggested that they should join China's military.

“If India attacks Pakistan, Bangladesh should occupy seven states of northeast India. In this regard, I think it is necessary to start a discussion on a joint military system with China," he had written on his official Facebook account.
As per the latest report, the whole white-ball series against Bangladesh might be ruled out but till now the board hasn't taken any decision in this context.
There are also reports that the future of the 2025 Asia Cup, which will be held in India, might be in jeopardy. “The Indian government is talking very tough, and playing cricket with the neighbors could be unlikely shortly," the report concluded.
The Asia Cup 2025, which was supposed to be held in September, post India's white-ball series against Bangladesh, might be postponed as India and Pakistan won't be playing cricket against each other for a while now.
