India-Bangladesh Cricket Tensions Escalate: BCCI Postpones Tour, Releases Mustafizur

• BCCI postponed the scheduled 2026 tour against Bangladesh, now seeking Indian government approval.
• This move could make India-Bangladesh cricket relations similar to India-Pakistan.
• A bilateral tour originally set for 2025 was previously postponed due to deteriorating relations.
• A women's cricket match between India and Bangladesh was also cancelled in December.
• BCCI instructed KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL, which the franchise complied with.

Why It Matters: India-Bangladesh cricket relations worsen with tour postponement and Mustafizur's IPL release.
