Bangladesh, India scramble to save white-ball series

According to Dawn, Bangladesh and India are racing to salvage a six-match cricket series—three one-day internationals and three T20 contests—scheduled for September. The tour was originally set for August twenty twenty-five but postponed after political relations deteriorated following Bangladesh's twenty twenty-four mass uprising that toppled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India where she remains. Tensions escalated further in February when Bangladesh refused to send a team to India for the T20 World Cup over security concerns; the ICC denied their request to play matches elsewhere, and Scotland replaced them instead. Now, with foreign ministers from both nations engaged in talks, Bangladesh's Sports Minister says the issue is being worked on at the ministerial level and expressed hope for a swift resolution.
