India-Bangladesh White-Ball Series May Shift To January Window

India and Bangladesh were supposed to play six cricket matches in August.

The matches include three one-day games and three shorter T20 games.

The tour is now uncertain because relations between the two cricket boards became strained.

Bangladesh is asking whether the matches can happen early next year instead.

January is one possible time being discussed.

India's cricket board has not officially confirmed a new schedule.

Talks between the boards and the government are still happening.

Relations reportedly began improving after Tamim visited India earlier this month.
