The Story in Brief
The Afghanistan Cricket Board has confirmed a T20I series against India in Delhi next month after receiving the BCCI's approval. The dates were sent to all stakeholders, putting the Bangladesh tour in limbo. India's schedule after the Sri Lanka Test series was already packed, and the Afghanistan series now clashes with the planned Bangladesh trip.
Neither the BCCI nor Bangladesh Cricket Board has commented on the status of the tour. The Indian team is set to face Sri Lanka in Tests starting this week, followed by the Afghanistan T20Is. The fate of the Bangladesh tour remains uncertain until an official clarification is issued.
The Indian Opinion
The usual noise about BCCI favouring one board over another is missing the point. The real question is whether the board can manage a packed calendar without shortchanging touring teams. Bangladesh fans have reason to feel anxious, but the final schedule will tell us whose tour was truly flexible. Until then, watch for the BCCI's official announcement, it will settle the speculation.
