Team India unlikely to travel to Bangladesh

India's six-match white-ball series against Bangladesh has effectively been called off amidst rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
A top source said the Indian team is unlikely to travel to Bangladesh after the government advised the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to not go ahead with the tour.
India and Bangladesh are currently facing trade-related tensions. On May 17, the Indian government announced major import route restrictions on goods, including ready-made garments and processed food items from Bangladesh.
According to a Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) notification, no ready-made garment products will be allowed into India via northeast-based integrated check posts (ICPs). This move was seen as a response to a similar restriction imposed by Bangladesh back in April.
The Indian cricket team is currently in England for a five-match Test series that will continue until the first week of August. The tour of Bangladesh was supposed to be their next assignment, beginning on August 17.
According to the original schedule, India were to play three ODIs first, followed by three T20Is. After the Bangladesh tour, India are set to host a home Test series against the West Indies in October.
