ICC Issues Final Warning to Bangladesh Over World Cup Participation in India
- •The ICC has given Bangladesh a final deadline of Wednesday to decide on their participation in the World Cup matches in India.
- •Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had previously requested to move matches out of India due to security concerns, which the ICC rejected twice.
- •The BCB also proposed changing their group, moving from Group 'C' to Group 'B', which is unlikely to be accepted by the ICC.
- •If Bangladesh withdraws, the ICC might replace them with another country, potentially Scotland based on rankings.
- •Bangladesh's latest demand is to play in Sri Lanka's group, effectively requesting a group change to avoid playing in India.
Why It Matters: ICC sets final deadline for Bangladesh's World Cup decision, rejecting group change and India venue requests.
