Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is the governing body for cricket in Bangladesh. It is currently embroiled in a significant dispute with the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding the 2026 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be partially held in India. The BCB has repeatedly expressed serious security concerns about playing its matches in India and requested the ICC to relocate Bangladesh's fixtures. This stance stems from heightened tensions between Bangladesh and India, exemplified by incidents like the dumping of a Bangladeshi bowler from an Indian league. Despite threats from the ICC to replace Bangladesh with Scotland, the BCB initially remained adamant. However, recent reports suggest the BCB agreed to work with the ICC to resolve the security concerns. The situation escalated further with a player boycott and the sacking of a top BCB official, highlighting internal turmoil. Ultimately, the ICC refused the BCB's request, leading to Bangladesh's exclusion from the tournament and replacement by Scotland.
