The Indian women's cricket team's anticipated white-ball tour to Bangladesh, initially slated for December 2025, has been postponed. The Board of Control for Cricket in India conveyed this decision to the Bangladesh Cricket Board, which confirmed the deferral. The series is expected to be rescheduled at a later date.
While a formal explanation has not been provided, the postponement is largely attributed to current geopolitical tensions between India and Bangladesh. These regional dynamics have previously affected the Indian men's limited-overs tour, which was shifted from August 2025 to September 2026. Both cricket boards are prioritizing the safety and logistical stability of players and officials, leading to such scheduling decisions.
In 2024, India last toured Bangladesh for a series of T20I and Test matches, where the Indian team showcased dominance by winning all games. The upcoming white-ball series was anticipated to renew competitive rivalry this December, but the postponement has temporarily halted this momentum.
Despite the deferment, the Indian women's cricket team has a busy schedule ahead. They are set to tour Australia in February 2026 for a multi-format series, including three T20Is, three ODIs, and a one-off Test match. Following this, in May 2026, the team will travel to England for a T20I series. These tours are part of preparations leading up to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, which is also scheduled to take place in England.
Both cricket boards are optimistic about finding a new window for the series once regional tensions ease. The series is considered significant for maintaining strong bilateral cricket ties and will be integrated into future international schedules.
