Tigers are likely to have the first fully-fledged tour to India this year, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president A H M Mustafa Kamal has said.
Speaking at the board's meeting on Monday, Kamal said his Indian counterpart N Srinivasan had assured him in his recent visit to the country about the tour by the end of 2012, a BCB media release said.
Kamal's meeting with Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Srinivasan during the inauguration of Indian Premier League was fruitful, the release said, quoting Kamal as saying in Monday's meeting.
Bangladesh played the first Test on Nov 12, 2000 against India at home ground but has not had a fully-fledged tour to the neighbouring country.
BCB is being criticised for its failure to keep a tour to India in the current future tours programme of Bangladesh cricket team.
After meeting Srinivasan during his recent visit to India to join IPL inauguration, Kamal said they had discussed the issue.
"The national team will tour India soon," he had said.

BCB holds 'meeting' with cricketers
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) held a meeting with the 23-member primary squad for the home series against West Indies, concerning their code of conduct.
The meeting took place at the BCB conference room following Red team's practice after 12:00pm on Sunday.
The board made an effort to conceal the matter. A member of the national squad recently strayed from the code of conduct. As a result BCB secretly arranged the meeting to discuss the manner of speaking in front of news media.
The story behind the story is that Mohammed Ashraful spoke to reporters about Mushfiqur Rahman's captaincy. He said, "The fans did not support the new skipper Mushfiqur Rahim at the BCB Cup final. Everyone should support him."
Within a day of the remark, the contracted players were summoned. Cricket operations committee chairman Enayet Hossain Siraj, media and communications committee chairman Jalal Yunus, manager Saiful Arefin Tutul, Sirajuddin Md. Alamgir and Aminul Haque Moni were present in the meeting.
When one of them came out he informed that the cricketers are not following the code of conduct.
When asked the reason of this sudden summoning of contracted players, Enayet Hossain Siraj and Jalal Younus attempted to sidestep the matter. Later Siraj said, "It's nothing serious. We don't sit with cricketers usually, so we just spent some time together."
Jalal said, "It's been long since we had a meeting with the players. Besides, we discussed openly about cricketers' code of conduct concerning their sponsorship and field attitudes� nothing more."
But no matter how much they tried to hide the matter, a player who was present in the meeting and expressed reluctance to acknowledge names said, "We were made aware of the code of conduct in no uncertain terms."

Bangladesh board to evaluate loss in Zimbabwe
Manzur Ahmed, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief executive, has said the board will evaluate the team's poor performance in Zimbabwe, where they lost a one-off Test and the ODI series 3-2.
"I would like to see it in management terms and in this case it will be called an evaluation," Manzur told the Daily Star. "We'll look into the reports from the various individuals and then do a complete evaluation of the team, both on and off the field."
Bangladesh had not played a Test in over a year before the tour and they suffered a 130-run defeat against Zimbabwe, who were returning to Test cricket after an absence of six years.
They also conceded a 0-3 lead in the ODIs before winning the last two dead-rubbers. The series was Stuart Law's first assignment as national coach after succeeding Jamie Siddons.
Manzur said the BCB was receiving reports from various individuals in the touring party. "We are holding discussions and we will receive reports. We know there's merit to an inquiry committee but it is not decided yet," Manzur said. "It will definitely be an honest appraisal and we'll look at all areas within the national team as well.
"Actually, we are looking at three areas to better our cricket. First it is the wickets, then the High Performance unit, and lastly the first-class cricket structure. These are all in place but there is always room for improvement."
