The BCB had earlier curtailed the series, originally planned as a three-Test tour in September, for the same reason,a news website reported.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;We have two important T20 tournaments ahead of us - Asia Cup and World Cup. Preparing for them is more important. Many Test players are not in the T20 team. So playing Tests during that time won&#39;t help them,&quot; BCB president Nazmul Hassan said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bangladesh have no match scheduled for a while after the World T20. The board will try to organise the bilateral series sometime then, added the BCB chief.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bangladesh have been placed with Ireland, the Netherlands and debutants Oman in Group A of the first round in World T20 that will be played in India. The winners of the two groups will join the top eight teams in the Super 10 stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bangladesh will be grouped with India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand if they progress beyond the first round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
