On Monday, BCB chief Aminul Islam gave a sneak peek into the uncertainty surrounding Bangladesh's white-ball series against India. 

After BCB's 19th board meeting at the iconic Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Islam spoke to the media, revealing that the BCCI is currently in talks with the Indian Government for formal clearance to send its players for the series, despite political turmoil in the neighbouring country.

"We're having positive discussions with the BCCI. It's not like (hosting India) in August or September, we are having discussions how we can do the series and if we cannot host it now we will do it at another possible time. They (BCCI) are waiting for some government clearance," Aminul Islam was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
