BCB Says ICC Hasn't Responded to Venue-Shift Plea for T20 World Cup in India

Bangladesh seeks to move four group games to Sri Lanka over security concerns.

Overview

  • BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul says the board has received no reply from the ICC after submitting attachments supporting its concerns.
  • The BCB has formally asked to relocate its four scheduled India fixtures to co-host Sri Lanka and says its position remains unchanged.
  • Bangladesh rejects proposals to switch to different Indian cities, arguing that a move within India would not resolve its concerns.
  • The ICC has not announced any venue changes and is seeking further clarification from the BCB.
  • The BCCI says decisions rest with the ICC and reported no discussion of the issue at its January 9 meeting, as Bangladesh’s first game is set for February 7 in Kolkata with three group matches in Kolkata and one in Mumbai.
