Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has advised the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) against making decisions about the T20 World Cup participation in India based on public emotion, urging them to consider the long-term future of Bangladesh cricket. Bangladesh has requested a venue change for their matches to Sri Lanka due to security concerns, a move reportedly not favored by the ICC. Iqbal emphasized the importance of dialogue and independent decision-making by the BCB, considering the sport's financial reliance on the ICC.
