Bangladesh Stands Firm: No Financial Loss for BCB if They Skip T20 World Cup

• Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) finance chairman Nazmul Islam stated the board faces no financial impact if they withdraw from the T20 World Cup.
• Islam clarified that BCB's revenue until 2027 is secured, as decided in the 2022 ICC financial meeting, making this World Cup participation irrelevant to their finances.
• He emphasized that only players would suffer financial losses, missing out on match fees, performance bonuses, and other earnings directly tied to their participation.
• The board neither gains nor loses financially from Bangladesh's involvement in this specific T20 World Cup.
• Nazmul Islam previously faced criticism for calling former captain Tamim Iqbal an "Indian agent" amid the T20 World Cup participation dispute.

Why It Matters: BCB asserts no financial loss from T20 World Cup withdrawal; only players would be impacted.
