Bangladesh's T20 World Cup 2026 fixtures are scheduled to be held in India, with matches against West Indies, Italy, and England in Kolkata, and Nepal in Mumbai. However, the upcoming bilateral cricket series between India and Bangladesh in September is on hold due to the ongoing political crisis, with the BCCI seeking government approval. The situation also led to the release of Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite these tensions, a BCCI official indicated that Bangladesh's participation in the T20 World Cup is unlikely to be affected.
