Ex-BCB Official: Mohsin Naqvi 'Misled' Bangladesh into T20 World Cup Boycott
•A former Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official claims PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi influenced Bangladesh's T20 World Cup 2026 boycott in India.
•Bangladesh's refusal to play in India, despite ICC security assurances, led to their exclusion from the tournament, with Scotland replacing them.
•Former ACC CEO Syed Ashraful Haque suggests BCB president Aminul Islam was misled by Naqvi, who is also Pakistan’s Interior Minister.
•Haque criticized Islam for prioritizing government satisfaction over player interests, calling the boycott an injustice to cricketers and fans.
•The decision by the then Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul to boycott over Mustafizur Rahman's IPL exclusion is questioned, citing ample time for negotiation.
