England’s Bangladesh Tour Postponed, Paving Way For IPL Participation
England Cricket men’s planned tour of Bangladesh, which was due to take place in September and October 2021, has been postponed, paving the way for players to take part in the rescheduled Indian Premier League.
The tour, which was to include three one-day internationals and three T20 internationals, will now take place in March 2023, with both boards mutually deciding as a result of ‘the impact of Covid and a packed cricket calendar’.
The decision now means that English players can potentially take part in the Indian Premier League which resumes on 19 September. Despite this, England are still due to play Pakistan in two T20 matches in October which would clash with the IPL semi-finals and final.
The IPL season was suspended in May following a Covid outbreak within the tournament’s bio-secure bubbles.
England’s men last visited Bangladesh in 2010.
