Overview
- An online meeting expected Tuesday between the ICC and the Bangladesh Cricket Board to discuss moving Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup matches was postponed, with the BCB seeking a written response to its request.
- Bangladesh’s government ordered an indefinite suspension of IPL broadcasts, citing public distress over Mustafizur Rahman’s removal and the absence of a clear explanation from India’s board.
- The BCB has told the ICC it will not send the national team to India under current conditions and proposed playing its group fixtures in Sri Lanka instead of Kolkata and Mumbai.
- Reports indicate the decision to have KKR release Mustafizur was taken by BCCI’s top leadership without consultation with board members or the IPL governing council, with officials publicly referring only to “recent developments.”
- PTI reports suggest Mustafizur is unlikely to receive compensation from KKR under standard insurance terms, while the PCB’s PSL account announced he will feature in the next PSL season.
