The conflict over cricket between India and Bangladesh is escalating ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refused to send its players to India and demanded that the ICC hold their matches outside of India. However, the ICC rejected this demand.
Now, the ICC has given Bangladesh a deadline on this matter. The ICC has decided that a decision must be made by January 21st regarding whether Bangladesh will participate in the T20 World Cup or not. Despite this, Bangladesh has once again told the ICC that they want to participate in the World Cup, but their team will not travel to India, meaning the venues for Bangladesh's matches should be shifted.
Bangladesh must decide by January 21st
According to reports, sources connected to the meeting said that the ICC has given Bangladesh a deadline of January 21st. Bangladesh has been asked to decide by January 21st whether they want to participate in the T20 World Cup and inform the ICC. They also need to state whether they will play matches in India or not. After this, the ICC will make its own decision on January 21st.
Will the ICC exclude Bangladesh?
If the Bangladesh team refuses to play matches in India, the ICC will exclude them from the tournament. The ICC will then announce another country as a replacement for Bangladesh. According to the latest rankings, this could be Scotland.
How did the dispute begin?
The dispute over the Bangladesh cricket team's decision not to travel to India for the T20 World Cup 2026 is ongoing. On January 4th, the BCB sent a letter to the ICC demanding that their matches be shifted outside of India. This demand came after Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman was released by KKR from IPL 2026 at the behest of the BCCI following growing protests against him in India.
The BCB then decided that Bangladeshi players would not travel to India due to security concerns. They claim that a security assessment conducted by an independent security agency hired by the ICC indicated a threat of attack during the T20 World Cup matches in India.
The ICC, however, stated that this advisory was sent to all 20 countries participating in the T20 World Cup, and while it mentioned a moderate to high threat level in India, it did not specifically name any country. The ICC thus rejected the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) request to shift the matches outside of India.
