However, for the last several weeks, this series was feared to be postponed and the real reason for this was being told about the tension in the relationship between the two countries. Since the coup that took place last year, there has been an increase in the relationship between Bangladesh and India. There was a constant conflict in Bangladesh due to the killings of Hindu minorities as well as the anti-India statements of the leaders there.
