Time is right for Indian tour of Bangladesh

[Austin 3:!6]

According to reports, the BCCI is still awaiting government confirmation on whether India can travel to Bangladesh given the recent events.

Politics aside, though, Bangladesh are playing some damn good cricket right now. They’ve just beaten a full-strength Australia in a Test in Australia, and before that whitewashed Pakistan both home and away.

 

I’m genuinely itching to see a full Test series between India and Bangladesh. It could be a seriously close contest, and the timing feels absolutely right.

 

Let’s just hope we get to see it.

Bangladesh touring India will obviously be no contest and we will maul them. However, us going there could actually be competitive.

 

We already don’t play bilateral series against Pakistan. I hope we don’t go down the same boycott route with Bangladesh. Unlike Pakistan, Bangladesh has never harmed Indian citizens. What is happening with Hindus there is bad, but they are Bangladeshi citizens, and the situation is ultimately an internal matter for Bangladesh.

 

I just want to see the cricket happen.

cricketing relations are good atleast players were eager to play the world cup. Government took a posture for optics.

ODI tour would be good.   What is the point of playing Afghans in T20 cricket?

Is it safe for our players to go to Bangladesh right now?

I think they are best Asian team when it comes to spin department, both with bat and ball. India since retirement of Sehwag has been abysmal.

I am certain Asia cup will be moved to UAE.

I read that they are hosting Indian games in Dhaka only... Three venues have been finalised, Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet to host these games.

 

Not possible to host games in UAE in June.

The T20 WC boycott drama needs to have consequences. The government will see that incident as a threat to India's Olympics hosting bid.

 

Also, I don't think Indian broadcasters are too keen on engaging with Bangladesh after Bangladeshi broadcasters defaulted on their payments for IPL media rights. There's no legal recourse in that country due to all the anti-India sentiment, so they easily get away with cheating Indian businesses.

This is what these MF jhaahil Abdul are doing with Hindu.  No need to play cricket with Bangladesh
