BCB Clings to ICC 'Miracle' After T20 World Cup Venue Request Rejected

  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has been given 24-48 hours by the ICC to decide on its T20 World Cup participation in India.
  • BCB requested to move its matches to Sri Lanka due to security concerns in India, but the ICC declined, stating no security risk.
  • The ICC confirmed Bangladesh must play its Group C matches in Kolkata and Mumbai as per the original schedule.
  • BCB President Aminul Islam expressed optimism for an ICC 'miracle' despite the rejection, hoping for a change of mind.
  • If Bangladesh withdraws, Scotland will take its place in Group C; BCB will consult its government one last time.

Why It Matters: BCB hopes for an ICC reversal on T20 World Cup venue despite rejection, citing security concerns in India.
