It is to be noted that India was set to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series consisting of three ODIs and as many T20Is, but it was officially postponed to September 2026 due to the political situation in the neighbouring nation. While that window now remains empty, sources have reported that India could travel to Sri Lanka.

Reports quoting NewWire have stated that India could travel to Sri Lanka for a white-ball series next month. However, the series is not a part of the Future Tour Programme (FTP), but with both teams having a free window, they could be seen locking horns in six white-ball matches.

Seeing this, local media has reported that the talks between Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) are on at the moment and an official statement is likely to come out soon.
