BCB: No Financial Loss if Bangladesh Skip T20 World Cup, Players to Suffer

• Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) finance committee chairman Najmul Hossain stated the BCB will not incur financial losses if Bangladesh skips the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
• The T20 World Cup 2026 matches are scheduled to be played across five venues in India and three in Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8.
• Najmul Hossain clarified that players will face financial hits by losing match fees and performance-based earnings if the team opts out.
• BCB's revenue up to 2027 is secured, as fixed during the 2022 ICC financial meeting, making participation in this World Cup irrelevant to the board's finances.
• The BCB will not compensate players for lost earnings, arguing that the board does not seek repayment for player underperformance.

Why It Matters: BCB confirms no financial impact on the board if Bangladesh skips T20 World Cup; players will bear the loss.
