Bangladesh T20 World Cup Boycott: Financial Hit for BCCI, ICC?

• Bangladesh refuses to send its team to India for the T20 World Cup, citing security concerns, following a dispute over Mustafizur Rahman's IPL participation.
• The refusal could lead to significant financial losses for BCCI, primarily from lost gate revenue at Eden Gardens and Wankhede Stadium, and impact local sponsorships.
• BCCI and ICC are in talks to address the situation, with Bangladesh's matches likely to be moved to co-host Sri Lanka.
• ICC might mitigate BCCI's losses by swapping other T20 World Cup fixtures from Sri Lanka to India, though matches involving co-hosts or specific teams are unlikely to move.
• If matches are swapped, BCCI's losses could be more logistical and re-planning related rather than direct revenue loss.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's T20 World Cup boycott threatens BCCI's gate revenue, prompting ICC to consider match swaps.
