Are you missing Bangladesh in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026?

[DRsohail]

So that there are at least a few one sided games in favour of opposition team vs Bangladesh?

Looking ag what weaker team did in this tournament, I believe Bangladesh would have done well.
Afghanistan was defeated by Bangladesh in Asia cup, they had a very close game against Pakistan too.

It may seem laughable but security can improve once some angry politicians calm down

Bangladeshis are much safer in India than they are in their own chaotic Bangladesh.

Looks like Bangbros have also learned how to make U-turns from their Pakistani brothers as well.

Definitely missing Bangladesh. If they were playing, Group C would've been tough for England

This topic deserved a separate thread. Bangladesh interim government made the decision not player's amd it was forced by Naqvi to not play in india. Lol

Salahuddin revealed that the national cricketers were devastated at missing the World Cup, describing the decision as "killing the dream" of the players.

Cricket is not more important than a human life. It is just a sport.

Bangladesh did the right thing by not coming to India. I hope they will continue to not come to India indefinitely.

Well- they are already asking to meet up with bcci and " solve " the issues LOL.. everyone knew it was an election stunt.. ao you can cut the BS and talk about reality

BD doesnt want to come to India, but would love for India to tour BD, Jammati logic.....

with the current Jammati Jhadist BD cricketing fans mindset such as Mas/Sweepy, will India really be safe touring to BD?

ICT should stay away from Sylhet, Dhaka, Mirpur khets and Jammati locusts

Perhaps. It is up to them to assess their safety and security themselves. It is convenient to blame Mustafizur but that exclusion was done in the background of anti Bangladeshi sentiment and aggressive statements made from BJP politicians. Convenient to view it as a singular event but we need to see the context behind it. There is no hiding when BJP members termed his exclusion as a victory for all Hindus. Of course it then carries a safety risk. Not everything is one sided brother.

See, you’re either being naive or being ignorant or biased about this. Look, I have realized you don’t like India or Indians having read your posts, but think about this from a rational and logical perspective. I didn’t agree with or like Mustafizur’s exclusion from the IPL and said so before as well, but this was, like you said, a total political statement. It’s not just India that had anti-Bangladesh sentiments, Bangladesh also had anti-India sentiments after Hasina’s ouster. It was a two-way street. The stand to ban Mustafizur was to not let a Bangladeshi player profit from India, vis-a-vis Pakistan, given the circumstances.
You were quick to latch on to the statement of a BJP official regarding this issue, but could you point where or who said there were security issues for him in India? It had nothing to do with security, it was just politics.
It doesn’t serve Bangladesh to have poor relations with India with the trade suffering so much, nor does it serve BCB to have poor relations with BCCI. Now that the new government has been elected, you’ll suddenly see all these security issues vanish and India becoming “safe” again, reiterating what I said before - it was all political and not a security related issue.

Subcontinent countries have 0 future without getting along and getting to work with India. Maldives- brought down to earth, Bangladesh- begenning to descend back to earth, Srilanka- brought to earth already few years back, Nepal- anti-India govt brought down to earth by their people.

Afghanistan- well we have great people to people connect, so even if someone installs a hostile govt, it wants to get along with India for mutual benefit as it can’t go against its people, be it pro India democratic governments of Afghanistan or radical groups like Taliban etc.

Pak also knows this but then what’s the point?

The sooner everyone realizes this especially from cricket context good for the game.

Yes we armchair experts can say whatever we want, doesn’t change ground realities.
