The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has stated that Bangladesh's request to move their T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka is outside its purview, deferring the decision to the International Cricket Council (ICC). This demand follows the release of Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL, amid rising tensions linked to attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cited security concerns and national dignity for their request, which the ICC is reportedly reviewing, with potential minor schedule tweaks and security guarantees offered.
