<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBangladesh is trying to save India’s six-match cricket tour next month, with the foreign ministers of both countries involved in efforts to resolve the issue, news agency AFP reported.The tour consists of three ODIs and three T20Is. It was originally scheduled for August last year but was postponed after relations between Dhaka and New Delhi deteriorated.Bangladesh sports minister Aminul Haque said on Monday that discussions were continuing at the ministerial level.“It is being worked on at the ministerial level,” Haque said late Monday, as quoted by AFP, adding that talks were ongoing between the foreign ministers of both countries.Relations between Bangladesh and India have been strained since a mass uprising in Bangladesh in 2024 led to the removal of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina. She fled to India, where she remains in hiding.In February, Bangladesh did not send a team to India for the T20 World Cup, citing security concerns. The International Cricket Council rejected Bangladesh’s request to move its matches to Sri Lanka, and Scotland replaced them in the tournament.Haque said Bangladesh was keen to resolve the issue surrounding the postponed series.“We want to quickly resolve the deadlock that was created around the Cricket World Cup,” Haque said.“God willing, we are hopeful that it will be resolved very soon.”India last toured Bangladesh for a cricket series in 2022, when they won the two-Test series 2-0. Bangladesh won the three-match ODI series 2-1.Bangladesh last toured India in September-October 2024 for two Tests and two T20Is. India won both series, completing a sweep across the two formats.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
