Bangladesh Threatens T20 World Cup Boycott Over India Venue Dispute

  • BCB President Aminul Islam stated Bangladesh will only play T20 World Cup 2026 if Group C matches are moved from India.
  • ICC rejected Bangladesh's request to shift matches due to security concerns and issued a 24-hour deadline to confirm participation.
  • Aminul Islam expressed hope for an ICC 'miracle' and highlighted that both players and the government want to participate.
  • Bangladesh proposed shifting matches to Sri Lanka or swapping with Ireland/Zimbabwe, but Sri Lanka declined a new team.
  • BCB will consult the government again regarding security concerns in India before giving a final decision to the ICC.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh threatens T20 World Cup boycott unless ICC moves matches from India due to security fears.
