Harbhajan Singh Speaks Out on Bangladesh's T20 World Cup Venue Request

  • Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh commented on Bangladesh's reluctance to play the 2026 T20 World Cup in India.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) formally requested the ICC to move the World Cup from India to Sri Lanka or a neutral venue.
  • This request follows an incident where BCCI instructed KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman from IPL 2026 due to political pressure, an unprecedented move.
  • Post-incident, BCB held an emergency meeting, and the Bangladesh government temporarily banned IPL broadcasting.
  • Harbhajan stated that while India welcomes all, Bangladesh's decision to play is their own, urging ICC to decide on their "wrong" request.
