T20 World Cup: Bangladesh Venue Deadlock Continues, Chennai & Thiruvananthapuram Eyed

• Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and ICC are at an impasse over T20 World Cup venues for Bangladesh's matches.
• BCB insists on a neutral venue, preferably Sri Lanka, due to player safety concerns amid political tensions with India.
• ICC and BCCI are exploring Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram as alternative Indian venues, with TNCA and KCA expressing willingness.
• Chepauk (Chennai), already a World Cup venue, has eight tracks and can accommodate additional games.
• Bangladesh is currently scheduled to play in Kolkata and Mumbai; ICC response on venue change expected soon.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's T20 World Cup venues remain uncertain due to safety concerns, with Indian cities as alternatives.
