Bangladesh Isolated: ICC Rejects T20 World Cup Relocation Request to Sri Lanka

• Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requested to move T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka after Mustafizur's IPL drop.
• ICC held a video conference on January 21 with 16 member countries to discuss Bangladesh's request.
• Only Bangladesh and Pakistan voted in favor of relocating the World Cup; all other 14 countries voted against it.
• ICC ruled that Bangladesh must play the T20 World Cup in India and has one day to confirm participation.
• If Bangladesh refuses to play, an alternative team (potentially Scotland) will replace them in the tournament.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's request to move T20 World Cup matches from India was overwhelmingly rejected by ICC members.
