Overview
- BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul said the ICC has not responded to Bangladesh’s formal letters despite submitted attachments and “proofs” outlining security concerns.
- Bangladesh has asked to move its four group games from India to co-host Sri Lanka and has expressed reluctance to travel to India under the current plan.
- Bulbul stated that switching to another Indian city would not address the concerns and said he was unaware of reports suggesting Hyderabad or Chennai as alternatives.
- The ICC has not issued a public decision and is reported to be seeking clarifications, while the BCCI has kept a low profile and noted the ICC holds the final say.
- With the tournament starting February 7 and Bangladesh slated for three matches in Kolkata and one in Mumbai, Bulbul indicated a response could come on Monday or Tuesday.
