The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is firm in its stance of not traveling to India for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, citing security concerns. Despite discussions with the ICC, the BCB has reiterated its request to relocate Bangladesh's matches outside India, possibly to Sri Lanka. The ICC, however, has stated that the tournament itinerary is set and has not identified specific threats, urging the BCB to reconsider. Separately, the ICC denied claims by a Bangladesh sports adviser that it had asked the BCB to drop a specific player due to security risks.
