• BCB's demands to shift T20 World Cup matches out of India or swap groups with Ireland have been rejected by the ICC.
• Bangladesh cited player security concerns, refusing to send its team to India, despite an independent security report indicating no direct threat.
• If Bangladesh persists, it could be excluded from the tournament, with Scotland potentially taking its place.
• The controversy arose after bowler Mustafizur Rahman was excluded from the tournament following his IPL selection by Kolkata Knight Riders.
