Bangladesh Govt's Shocking U-Turn: Asif Nazrul Blames BCB, Players for India Boycott

• Bangladesh sports advisor Asif Nazrul reversed his stance, now claiming BCB and players decided to boycott T20 World Cup 2026 matches in India.
• Previously, Nazrul stated on January 22 that the government decided not to send the team to India due to 'genuine concerns'.
• The ICC replaced Bangladesh with Scotland in the T20 World Cup after the government's refusal to send the team.
• Nazrul now asserts the decision was made by BCB and players for 'safety of the country's cricket' and 'national dignity'.
• Cricketers had previously called the January 22 meeting 'undemocratic', feeling their views were not considered in the decision-making process.
