Tamim hopeful despite no update on India series

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Tamim Iqbal remains hopeful that India will tour Bangladesh for the scheduled white-ball series in September, although he admitted that there has been no fresh update on the matter.

The series, originally scheduled for 2025 before being postponed to September this year, remains uncertain amid strained relations between the two neighbouring countries.

“Unfortunately, I do not have any news regarding the India series. From our side, we are in communication with the BCCI and we are trying. I hope they will come,” Tamim told reporters yesterday.

“We are taking all the steps from our side. But you should also understand that as the BCB president, there is also a line I should never cross. There are certain things that are beyond my control.”

“But I think the discussions we have had have been very positive. They too have to make a decision. Maybe very soon we will know whether the series is happening and we will be able to inform you,” he added.
