Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has urged the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to make decisions regarding the T20 World Cup participation in India based on long-term cricketing interests rather than public emotion. Citing security concerns, Bangladesh has expressed reluctance to tour India and sought to shift matches to Sri Lanka. Iqbal emphasized that dialogue can resolve issues and stressed that the BCB should act as an independent body, considering that 90-95% of Bangladesh cricket's finances come from the ICC, making pragmatic decisions crucial for the sport's future.
