ICC 'Extremely Angry' With BCB Over T20 WC India Stance; Replacement Team Soon

  • Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) attempt to move T20 World Cup 2026 matches out of India via ICC's Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) is likely to fail.
  • The DRC cannot hear appeals against decisions made by the ICC Board, making BCB's approach a 'non-starter' as per ICC sources.
  • BCB's refusal to travel to India stems from security concerns raised by Bangladesh's interim government, despite an independent assessment showing 'low to moderate' threat.
  • ICC Board members are reportedly 'extremely angry' with BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul for holding a press conference before informing the global body.
  • A formal announcement regarding Bangladesh's replacement team for the T20 World Cup is expected by Saturday, with Scotland on standby.

Why It Matters: ICC is angered by BCB's actions regarding T20 World Cup matches in India; replacement team announcement imminent.
