What is the news?
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has rejected claims that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has given them a final warning regarding playing the T20 World Cup in India. If he does not play, his points will be deducted. This reaction comes after BCB was said to have sent a letter to ICC seeking to shift its matches in the tournament citing security concerns.
What did BCB say?
BCB stressed that it has received a response from the ICC on this entire matter and is now working on it. BCB said in its statement that the board has received a response from the ICC on the concerns raised regarding the security of the Bangladesh cricket team in India for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup. This also includes requests to move team matches.
ICC welcomed BCB’s suggestions
In its statement, BCB said that ICC in its response has reiterated its commitment to ensure the full and uninterrupted participation of the Bangladesh team in the tournament. The ICC has also made it clear that it is ready to work closely with the BCB on the security concerns raised. It has also been assured that BCB’s suggestions will be welcomed and seriously considered while preparing the detailed security plan for the event.
BCB called media reports false
BCB further said in its statement that there are reports in some sections of the media that the board has been warned by the ICC in this matter, but these claims are completely false. BCB clearly said that such reports have no basis. According to the Board, the contents and intentions of the message received from the ICC have not been presented correctly in these reports.
Trying to make the tournament successful
The board also said in its statement that BCB places the safety and well-being of its team above all else. The board made it clear that it will continue to hold talks with the ICC and all the agencies related to the tournament. BCB says that with everyone’s cooperation, a solution will be found so that Bangladesh team can play in the ICC T-20 World Cup to be held in 2026 without any problem and the tournament is successful.
The media had made this claim
Several media reports had claimed that ICC has rejected BCB’s demand to shift the T20 World Cup 2026 matches out of India (to Sri Lanka). ICC told BCB in a virtual meeting that if Bangladesh does not come to India and play the match, they may have to forfeit points. After this this statement of BCB has come. Let us tell you that no formal statement has come from ICC.
Why did this controversy start?
Many Hindu people were killed in Bangladesh in the last few days. In such a situation, many people in India had expressed anger about Bangladeshi players playing in IPL. Amidst these incidents, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had released Mustafizur Rahman. The BCCI did not directly refer to the current state of bilateral relations in its decision to release Mustafizur, but it indicated that the decision was influenced by larger developments.
