Bangladesh Demands T20 World Cup Venue Shift to Sri Lanka Citing Security

  • Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) seeks to move T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka due to security concerns.
  • BCB cites the India-Pakistan 'hybrid model' for ICC events as a precedent for venue changes.
  • ICC is "willing to work closely" with BCB but has not yet accepted the venue change demand.
  • Diplomatic tensions and Mustafizur Rahman's IPL ouster are linked to BCB's stance.
  • BCB denies reports of an ICC ultimatum, stating "constructive engagement" continues.

Why It Matters: BCB pushes for T20 World Cup matches to shift from India to Sri Lanka over security and diplomatic issues.
