While the two boards pinned the reason for deferring the series to scheduling inconveniences, the PTI had reported on July 4 that the BCCI wanted the series to be rescheduled since it was wary of the security situation in Bangladesh which is in turmoil since last year’s civil unrest that resulted in the overthrow of the Sheikh Hasina-led government. It is understood that the BCCI wanted the tour to go ahead only after the general elections are held in Bangladesh and 鈥渁 stable government is in place taking care of the law and order situation.鈥 Elections in Bangladesh are not expected to take place before early next year. Bangladesh is currently governed by an interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
