Bangladesh Cricket Board Raises Alarm Over India-Pakistan T20 World Cup Boycott

• Pakistan's call to boycott the India match at the T20 World Cup 2026 has sparked concern from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
• The potential boycott could lead to a significant drop in ICC revenue, estimated at USD 500 million, impacting broadcast rights, advertising, and sponsorships.
• BCB officials fear a decline in ICC funds will reduce their own dividends, questioning how they will sustain cricket infrastructure.
• A BCB director suggested Pakistan's boycott is a strategic move to challenge India's dominance in cricket.
• Despite the financial concerns, there's optimism that dialogue between India and Pakistan could lead to an agreement.
