Cricket fans are desperate to see Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have retired from Test and T20I. Both these players will now be seen playing only in ODI cricket. Cricket fans hoped that in the ODI series against Bangladesh next month, these two players will appear in Nilly Jersey, but now the tour of Bangladesh is seen falling in the sorrow. According to reports, Team India’s visit to Bangladesh may be canceled. The situation is not good in the neighboring country. Perhaps this is why the Central Government is not allowing this tour to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), because there is no guarantee of safety of players there.
Things are not good in Bangladesh
The Indian cricket team was going to visit Bangladesh next month, but now the clouds of crisis have started looming on this tour. According to reports, the situation in Bangladesh is not good these days. After the change of power, the atmosphere there has deteriorated considerably. It is believed that the central government will not allow the Indian team to visit Bangladesh in view of the safety of the players. An official announcement may be made soon.
Ever since the government has changed in Bangladesh, there have been disturbances every day. In such a situation, the central government will never take the risk of sending Team India to Bangladesh. After the resignation of Sheikh Hasina in August last year in Bangladesh, the interim government is running the country. Its prominent advisor is Muhammad Yunus.
Both boards can take a big decision
Apart from this, BCCI and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) can soon take a big decision regarding the upcoming series. It is expected that the tour may be canceled, but both boards may agree to postpone it for a few days instead of canceling the tour. BCB has also postponed the biting of media rights for this series. India’s Bangladesh was scheduled to begin on 17 August. Where Team India was going to play three ODIs and the same t20i series. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were expected to play in the ODI series.
