Nasser Hussain Critiques ICC and BCCI Amid Bangladesh and Pakistan T20 World Cup Disputes

Former England captains Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton have criticised the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for perceived preferential treatment towards India amid the T20 World Cup 2026 controversy. Bangladesh withdrew from matches in India citing security concerns after the removal of Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL, leading to their replacement by Scotland. Pakistan announced a boycott of their group match against India in solidarity. Hussain called for consistent treatment of all teams and urged separation of politics from cricket, while some sources highlight differing views on the legitimacy of security claims and ICC decisions.
