The Indian Women’s Cricket Team will tour Bangladesh for a five-match T20I series, slated to get underway on the 28th of April at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed that umpire Tanveer Ahmed will not be part of the unit dealing with the task of officiating the affair following the unsavoury incidents he was involved in during the 2023 series between the two sides.

Ahmed was at the heart of things during the 3-match ODI series between India and Bangladesh which finished 1-1 with the final game ending in a tie.
Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was slapped with a two game ban as he knocked down the stumps with her bat and got into a heated argument with Ahmed after he had raised his finger to signal the dismissal of the Indian star in an LBW.
To make matters worse she mocked the Bangladesh side by asking the opposition skipper to call the umpire to the centre in an ugly taunt.
According to Cricbuzz, a BCB official revealed that, “If he is included in the upcoming home series against India women’s team there is a possibility he can again be at the receivers end considering Indian women cricketers might target him and we don’t want that to happen and as a result we decided not to include him for the series involving Bangladesh and India women’s team.”
The report from Cricbuzz also went on to quote BCB’S umpire’s committee chairman Iftekhar Ahmed Mithu added that the board wanted his services during the series against Zimbabwe.
“Tanveer is not included in the list of match officials for the home series against India women’s team as we want him to be involved in the home series against Zimbabwe and both the series will be played side by side.”
