Bangladesh Insists on Moving T20 World Cup Matches From India as ICC Decision Still Pending

The ICC has not ruled on Bangladesh’s request to relocate its India fixtures to Sri Lanka despite the February 7 start drawing near.

Overview

  • BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul says the board has received no reply from the ICC after submitting attachments and “proofs” outlining security concerns.
  • Bangladesh maintains it will not play group games in India and rejects shifting to other Indian cities, pressing for Sri Lanka as the alternative.
  • The ICC remains publicly silent while seeking clarification, with some reports suggesting a verdict could come early next week.
  • BCCI officials state venue matters fall under ICC authority and note the issue was not discussed at their recent meeting in Mumbai.
  • Pakistan’s board has signaled readiness to host Bangladesh’s fixtures if Sri Lanka cannot, but Bangladesh’s schedule currently lists three games in Kolkata and one in Mumbai starting February 7.
