Bangladesh’s Shakib al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman will travel to home by road as the Bangladesh government has suspended flights from India.

Noteworthy, the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) hopes to stage the remainder of 31 IPL 14 matches before or after the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 to be held in India in October and November.

The Indian players will spend the next few weeks at home before flying to England for the ICC World Test Championship final in June against New Zealand followed by a Test series against the hosts.
