Kohli's Coach Backs ICC: Bangladesh Replaced in T20 World Cup Over Security Claims

  • Bangladesh replaced by Scotland in ICC T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
  • Bangladesh refused to travel to India for group-stage matches, citing unproven security concerns.
  • Virat Kohli's childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, supported ICC's decision, stating India has no security issues.
  • ICC warned Bangladesh and gave them time, but their refusal led to replacement.
  • Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) accepted ICC's decision, not challenging the replacement despite unchanged stance.
