Bangladesh Media, Sports Adviser Falsely Portray ICC Security Assessment for T20 World Cup

• Bangladeshi media and sports adviser Asif Nazrul claimed ICC assessment deemed India unsafe for Bangladesh in 2026 T20 World Cup.
• ICC sources clarified the assessment was misrepresented, stating no advisory suggests Bangladesh cannot play in India.
• The assessment categorized risks as low to moderate in some venues and low to nil in others, a standard ICC practice.
• Nazrul's claim about Mustafizur Rahman's presence being a security concern was denied by ICC, who said the document was for internal planning.
• Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the discussed assessment was internal and not an official ICC response to their relocation request.
