Afghans to host Tigers at Dehradun for T20I series
He said the series was hard to sell to Australian free-to-air TV broadcasters - prompting the decision to pull the pin on another Bangladesh tour. All the matches of the series will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehdarun and the games will take place under lights starting from 8.30 pm Bangladesh time.
The shocking development comes despite the Bangladesh Cricket Board imploring Cricket Australia to go ahead with the series. Australia suffered its first Test defeat to Bangladesh past year.
Cricket Australia, however, had earlier informed the BCB that they were not interested in host the series, arguing that it would not be "commercially viable".
CRICKET Australia has been accused of overt "disrespect" in its decision to cancel this year's Bangladesh tour of Australia. Yesterday, the CA chose to pull the plug on Bangladesh's two Test and three ODI tour in August- September.

Google Drive on the web is getting a Gmail-like redesign
As Google notes, there's "no change in functionality", with this update rolling out to all Google Drive users in the coming weeks. The new design has already started to roll out, but Google says it won't reach 100% of users for another few days.
Right now, the decision from Cricket Australia to reject the Bangladeshi tour strongly mirrors the BCCI's refusal to play a day-night Test this summer in contravention of CA's wishes.
Chowdhury said moves like the one Cricket Australia is accused of pulling has led to growing support for the ICC's Future Tours Program to be reintroduced with powers to bind cricket's powerful nations into playing more regularly against the minnow nations. India had hosted them only once, for a Test in 2017.
"To be honest it hasn't been a great success, playing in the past as we have in northern Australia". Overall, they have played six Tests in South Africa, four in England, two in Australia and one in India. The matches are scheduled for the 3rd, 5th and 7th of June before Afghanistan travel to Bengaluru for the one-off Test match against India. "If we get drawn to play [Bangladesh], and we're drawn to play it at home, once you're in a championship situation, the context puts you in a position of wanting to win every game and needing the points and not compromising". With no cricket possible in the war-torn nation, India is serving as a home venue for the Afghans.
