BCB Faces ICC Ban Threat Over T20 World Cup 2026 India Refusal and Government Interference

• The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) faces a potential ICC ban for refusing to send its team to India for the T20 World Cup 2026.
• ICC rejected Bangladesh's request to move matches out of India, citing no security threat after independent assessments.
• Government interference, openly confirmed by Bangladesh's sports adviser Asif Nazrul, violates ICC rules requiring independent board management.
• The ICC Board voted 14-2 to replace Bangladesh, with Scotland reportedly set to take their place in Group C.
• BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul accused ICC of double standards, comparing their situation to India's neutral venue arrangement for the Champions Trophy.
