Bangladesh Faces ICC Action Over T20 World Cup Boycott Threat; Scotland Steps In
- •Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refuses to send its team to India for the T20 World Cup, citing lack of government permission and security concerns.
- •ICC Chairman Jay Shah is considering strict action against Bangladesh; a 24-hour deadline for BCB to confirm participation has expired.
- •Scotland is set to replace Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup after BCB failed to provide a clear response to the ICC.
- •BCB has appealed to the ICC again, requesting their demand for a venue change to Sri Lanka be sent to an independent dispute resolution committee.
- •Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reportedly supports Bangladesh and might boycott the T20 World Cup if Bangladesh's demands are not met.
Why It Matters: Bangladesh's refusal to play the T20 World Cup in India has led to potential ICC action and Scotland's inclusion.
