Mumbai, April 30 -- Former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan expressed hope for improved relations between the India and Bangladesh cricket boards. Relations soured after Bangladesh decided against travelling to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup as a protest against their seamer Mustafizur Rahman being dropped from the Kolkata Knight Riders squad. "I think things will get better," Shakib told the media on the sidelines of the EUT20 Belgium's jersey launch event here on Wednesday. "Obviously, efforts need to be made and I think one or two series, if Bangladesh visits India or India goes to Bangladesh...(they are) playing a series which I heard might happen in August or September. If that happens, I think the ice will break and things will get better," Shakib described Bangladesh's decision to not travel for the T20 World Cup earlier this year as a blunder. "We are a cricket-loving country and a country like Bangladesh not participating in the World Cup was a big miss. It's a blunder from the government's side that they took the decision not to participate," said Shakib. htc...
