India women's first series after World Cup win postponed, Know reason here

Bangladesh women's cricket team was scheduled to tour India in December this year. However, the tour has been postponed now as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) spokesperson confirmed the development. Moreover, this was India's first series after their historic World Cup win at home earlier this month. But it seems that the players will directly head into the Women's Premier League (WPL) now.

According to a report, the BCCI sent the letter to the BCB stating that the white-ball series will be scheduled at a later date, the BCB spokesperson confirmed. For the unversed, the two teams were scheduled to face each other in three ODIs and as many T20Is. 

No specific reason has been given for the postponement of the tour but it is understood that the political tensions between India and Bangladesh played a key role in the decision. The series was part of ICC's Future Tour Programme (FTP) and the matches were expected to take place in Kolkata and Cuttack. Also, the ODI series was also both teams' first in the new cycle of Women's ODI Championship.
