Bangladesh Open to Pakistan Hosting T20 World Cup Matches Amid India Boycott

  • A top Bangladeshi official stated they have no issue sending their team to Pakistan or UAE for the T20 World Cup.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) previously refused to send the Litton Das-led squad to India, citing security concerns.
  • This refusal is seen as retaliation after Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from Kolkata Knight Riders due to BCCI orders.
  • Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) offered to host Bangladesh's group matches, an offer Bangladesh is considering.
  • ICC has not accepted Bangladesh's demand to move group-stage fixtures from Kolkata and Mumbai, offering alternate venues in southern India instead.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh is considering Pakistan's offer to host T20 World Cup matches, refusing to play in India due to security concerns.
