BCB Awaits ICC Response on T20 World Cup India Concerns Amid Security Fears

  • Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul stated that the ICC has not yet responded to their concerns about playing the T20 World Cup in India.
  • BCB has requested to shift their matches to co-host Sri Lanka due to security concerns, maintaining their unchanged position.
  • Concerns arose after Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman's release from IPL's Kolkata Knight Riders on BCCI's instructions, amid reports of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
  • Bulbul emphasized that moving matches to another Indian city would not alleviate their concerns, as any alternate Indian venue is still an Indian venue.
  • Bangladesh is scheduled to play three group matches in Kolkata and one in Mumbai; Bulbul is unaware of Hyderabad and Chennai as replacement venues.

Why It Matters: BCB awaits ICC's decision on T20 World Cup venues, firm on not playing in India due to security concerns.
