There are chances that India might host Bangladesh more in future with the isuue of a greater number of bilateral series between the two set to be discussed when Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2019-2023 is confirmed here during the on-going five-day International Cricket Council (ICC) meet, reports IANS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are expecting some more matches in the next ICC FTP cycle. There will be more number of India-Bangladesh matches in both India and Bangladesh. We are hopeful,\u201d Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury told IANS on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The FTP for 2019-2023 may have already been agreed upon by the ICC full members, but the document that binds the Test-playing nations to adhere to the programme will be submitted to the ICC at its quarterly board meeting here on April 25 and 26.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
India have hosted Bangladesh for a bilateral series only once so far, in Hyderabad in 2017.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In total, there have been six India-Bangladesh Test series, including the 2017 five-day affair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With Bangladesh\u2019s rising status as a cricketing force, Chowdhury felt the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafiqur Rahim should tour India more and in general engage in more bilateral ties with Kohli and his boys.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asked if he had any agenda to address in the ICC meet, Chowdhury said, \u201cAll the issues are specific and general in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
