Bangladesh Cricket Board President Tamim Iqbal said the dates of the India-Bangladesh series may change as the board reworks its domestic calendar. He also indicated that the Bangladesh Premier League may not be held this year after the BCB suffered losses of around 40 crore taka over the past two seasons. The board will address franchise defaults and financial issues before reviving the BPL.

Dhaka: Bangladesh Cricket Board President Tamim Iqbal has said that the dates of a much-awaited home series against India could "move around" as the BCB reworks its calendar which may not feature its flagship T20 showpiece Bangladesh Premier league this year due to heavy financial losses.

Speaking to reporters here, Tamim said the BCB will conduct a Game Development tournament at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium from August 28 to September 9 featuring players from Under-17, Under-19 and Under-23 categories.

"There are discussions regarding the India series, the dates may move around," said Tamim.

"And this tournament is taking place in Mirpur, but if necessary, it can also move to the Bashundhara ground (Dhaka). Once the India series is fixed, we will schedule it accordingly," he was quoted as saying by 'Cricbuzz'.
