Bangladesh Risks World Cup Forfeit Over India Match Relocation Demand
- •Bangladesh requested moving four T20 World Cup group matches out of India due to security concerns.
- •ICC is unlikely to grant the request, citing commitment to full participation and detailed security planning.
- •Matches are scheduled for Eden Gardens in Kolkata and Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
- •Historical precedents include Australia, West Indies (1996 vs Sri Lanka), England, and New Zealand (2003 vs Zimbabwe/Kenya) forfeiting matches over security issues.
- •The request comes just a month before the tournament, making schedule changes almost impossible.
Why It Matters: Bangladesh faces potential World Cup forfeit if India match relocation demand is denied by ICC.
