ICC to Visit Dhaka as BPL Boycott Lifts, Bangladesh Still Refuses India World Cup Trip

An ICC delegation is heading to Dhaka to address Bangladesh’s request to move its T20 World Cup group games to Sri Lanka.

Overview

  • Bangladesh’s players ended their boycott after a late-night meeting, with the BPL resuming on a revised schedule following a public apology from BCB director M Nazmul Islam.
  • M Nazmul Islam was stripped of his finance committee chairmanship and served a show‑cause notice, though he remains a BCB director pending disciplinary proceedings.
  • Two BPL matches in Dhaka were postponed when teams did not arrive, underscoring player anger over Nazmul’s remarks about compensation and board spending.
  • The ICC is dispatching officials to Dhaka for talks on participation and security, with Anti-Corruption Unit head Andrew Ephgrave also set to review separate integrity concerns.
  • The BCB maintains it will not travel to India and has asked to play in Sri Lanka, while ICC officials have indicated late venue changes are difficult and discussions will continue.
