Bangladesh's T20 World Cup 2026 Participation Uncertain Amid Venue Dispute with ICC

Bangladesh's participation in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 remains uncertain amid a standoff between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). The BCB has requested shifting their matches from India to Sri Lanka, citing security concerns following the removal of pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL and rising political tensions. Captain Litton Das expressed uncertainty about playing, noting players have not been consulted or informed about group details. Bangladesh's government advisor reaffirmed the refusal to travel to India despite ICC's deadline and potential replacement by Scotland.
