Bangladesh to ‘work with ICC’ on T20 World Cup security concerns in India
AI Summary
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will collaborate with the International Cricket Council (ICC) to address security concerns regarding Bangladesh's participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, starting February 7, 2026. This decision follows Bangladesh's initial reluctance to play its matches in India, where all of their group games were scheduled. The BCB and ICC held a virtual meeting to discuss Bangladesh's request for alternative venues. The BCB's concerns reportedly stem from a recent controversy involving an IPL franchise dropping a Bangladeshi player at the directive of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The ICC has assured the BCB that its concerns will be considered in the security planning for the event.
