India’s tour of Bangladesh and Asia Cup participation in doubt, says report
India's planned tour of Bangladesh in August and their participation in the Asia Cup are now highly uncertain
The ongoing suspension of IPL 2025 has cast serious doubts over India’s international commitments scheduled for later this year.
As reported by the Times of India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now considering the August-September window to complete the remainder of the IPL, should regional tensions continue to escalate.

India is slated to begin a five-match Test series in England in early June. Once that concludes, the August-September period is viewed as the only realistic timeframe available to finish the tournament.
With this in mind, India's planned tour of Bangladesh in August and their participation in the Asia Cup the following month are now highly uncertain.
Even if the IPL concludes in time, sources suggest the BCCI has little interest in proceeding with either the Bangladesh tour or the continental tournament, standing firm on prioritizing domestic cricket over international fixtures during this unsettled time.

Meanwhile, concerns over player safety have grown following the abrupt halt of the Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala on Thursday due to a major power outage.
It is understood that players from both teams were left shaken and departed the region early the next morning. The BCCI is currently focusing on ensuring the safety and mental well-being of all involved.
