India's tour to Bangladesh has been rescheduled to September 2026, the Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed, as quoted by Cricbuzz. 

India were to tour Bangladesh in 2025, but that tour was called off by more than 12 months. That came amidst strained relations between the two countries. 

However, the series has now been rescheduled, as the BCB has announced its home season schedule, during which it will host India, Australia, New Zealand, and Pakistan.
