BCB Demands T20 World Cup Venue Change from India to Sri Lanka Citing Security Fears

• The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) formally requested the ICC to shift its T20 World Cup games from India to Sri Lanka due to security concerns.
• Bangladesh is scheduled to play four T20 World Cup games in India (three in Kolkata, one in Mumbai).
• The demand follows pacer Mustafizur Rahman's release from the IPL by BCCI, citing "developments all around" after attacks on minorities in Bangladesh.
• BCB is internally divided, with some backing advisor Asif Nazrul's hardline stance and others favoring dialogue for enhanced security.
• The ICC has maintained silence on the venue change but is assessing BCB's security apprehensions.
