The much hyped Bangladesh women’s tour of India has also been postponed, an initial twist in the international women’s cricket calendar. It was a series that was supposed to have both forms of limited overs and this seemed highly important to the two teams as they build up towards ICC events in the future. The delay was caused by administrative clearances that were pending and logistical difficulties that were experienced due to initial reports. Although this delay has cast doubt on the fans, both board officials are likely to declare a new schedule in the near future. The series is yet to be canceled but with new dates to be set so that both sides would be better prepared, making it a closely followed development across Sports Updates platforms.
Reason Behind the Postponement
Early reports indicate that the decision is as a result of schedules conflict and logistical problems. Both the cricket boards were said to be in the process of making final arrangements and operational details, though major arrangements were not ready before time. Consequently, mutually the boards decided to postpone the tour to a new window so that no compromise was made in terms of the quality of matches, the broadcast organization, and the preparation of the players.
Also, the move is coupled with a tight international cricket calendar that has made it more difficult than usual to move the dates. The two boards have however insisted that the welfare of the players and smooth execution are their first priority.
Expected Revised Schedule
Although the definite dates are not yet proved, the representatives of the board are likely to present a new schedule in the near future. The initial tour was to be made of a mix of ODIs and T20Is, and this was a part of the enhanced preparation process of future ICC competitions.
Cricket analysts feel that the series can now be rescheduled to the first half of next year, which will enable both the teams to re-adjust training schedules. Remarkably, fans and players are looking forward to a clear picture since the tour is a vital thing because Bangladesh tries out the depth of their squads in the Indian conditions as well as India considers the series as a great step before the major tournaments.
Looking Ahead
The boards have still confirmed their intentions of another fully organized series despite the delay. After the confirmation of new dates, both teams would rejoin the training with renewed focus so that the series is carried out with the standards that international women’s cricket is supposed to be played.
