There is all the news of rumors that people are anticipating India’s next move after 2 weeks of exciting matches with England. There are many social media questions about the future commitment of the team. However, a five-week gap before the start of the Asia Cup can seem long to avid fans.

India’s Asia Cup Campaign

The Indian cricket team will get into action in the Asia Cup, which they will open against the United Arab Emirates on 10 September. Due to the power inequality between the two parties, the battle will be won by India. As such, Men in Blue will pursue a decisive triumph in an attempt to boost morale.

Bangladesh Tour Cancelled

The series between India and Bangladesh was initially scheduled to take place in August 2023, being made up of three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals, but has now been called off. The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) together tried to justify their claims of postponing the matches under the undertone of being more convenient, logistically, but it is understood that the source of the trouble is the political unrest between the two countries.

The official statement added that India will now go to Bangladesh in September 2026, with the new dates to be announced later. Such delay provides the Indian team with more rest following the physically taxing series against England.

There is even a rumor that India might instead tour Sri Lanka at some stage in early August, something quite welcome to local media but hardly feasible due to the short timeline involved in terms of scheduling and logistics.
