The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has sent a second letter to the ICC requesting a venue change for their T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka, citing security concerns and diplomatic sensitivities. The ICC has sought specific details on these apprehensions. The BCB is reportedly divided internally, with one faction advocating a hardline stance and another preferring continued dialogue. The standoff follows tensions including the release of a Bangladeshi player from the IPL, and the ICC faces logistical challenges and the risk of setting a precedent if venues are changed. Bangladesh faces the choice of participating under protest or withdrawing.
