The Bangladesh Cricket Board has approached the BCCI to salvage India’s white-ball tour in September and repair strained ties after Dhaka withdrew from the T20 World Cup in India. A leadership change in BCB is likely, with Tamim Iqbal emerging as a potential president candidate amid growing unrest.

Dhaka, Apr 4: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has approached the BCCI to salvage India's white-ball tour in September and repair ties, strained after Dhaka's decision to pull out of the T20 World Cup in India.

It is understood that BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul's regime could end soon and an interim board may start discussions with the Indian cricket Board.

BCB, believed to be run by sports ministry advisor and anti-India hardliner Asif Nazrul, decided not to send the team to India on the pretext of security issues after Mustafizur Rahaman wasn't allowed by the BCCI to play in the IPL.

BCB requested that their matches be shifted to Sri Lanka but the ICC did not find merit in it, ruling out any security issue in India for the team.
