ICC rejects Bangladesh's request to move its T20 World Cup games out of India (Update @ post#2179)

[cricketjoshila]

Jub papa ka haath ho sar pe phir sub kuch hojata hai

It might not be easy, but it's not impossible. Everyone knows who's running the show. If they wanted to do it, they could. But I'm guessing they (India and ICC) are hoping that this is resolved through dialogue and they don't have to suffer any financial losses.

What they did not expect was for Bangladesh to come out with nothing to lose. I think deep down Bangladesh probably knew they weren't winning alot of matches in the tournament anyway.

Still it's admirable how Bangladesh have stuck to their guns unlike that shameless idiot Naqvi, who made Pakistan a laughing stock during the Asia Cup with his antics. Now the ball is in India's court because so far Bangladesh have not budged from their position.

What financial losses will be suffered if Bangladesh don’t travel to India?

Lol

It’s Bangladesh they have little financial impact

Lol

Well the matches are scheduled in India so it would impact ticket sales and in-stadium attendance. The fact that most of their matches were in Kolkata signals to the point that India were probably expecting better turnouts because of the native Bengali population. It would also reduce overall event viewership in Bangladesh, which is a meaningful TV market in its own right.

For sponsors, broadcasters, it might not be that big of an issue since they are tied to the event itself, they will be losing money if Bangladeshi broadcasters and corporations pull out of media rights deals because of Bangladesh's withdrawal.

Beyond revenue, it might be a logistical nightmare to reschedule fixtures and potentially move them to Sri Lanka one month out from the World Cup. It would create major operational challenges for the ICC, including venue availability, team travel, broadcast planning. If they replace Bangladesh with Scotland or another associate that would impact ticket sales and in-stadium attendance too.

 

[sweep_shot]

They're take a page out of India's playbook against Pakistan and all their theatrics & dramatics to not visit during CT.

Absolutely fair play & fair game by Bangladesh. ICC set the precedent with India & Pakistan and allowing both countries to play neutral venues for security reasons. Bangladesh is well within its right to exercise under the same pretence which is why it was such a dangerous precedent for ICC to allow. Allowing any team to obtain a neutral venue under the pretence of a security issue in an ICC tournament when rest of the teams are visiting is silly. It shouldn't have happened in the same first place and this is just further collateral damage due to it.

BCB likely won't end up getting their way because they're a small board with minimal power and likely won't receive a lot of backing from other boards but considering the dangerous precedent set by ICC, we will continue to see this situation come up over the years I would imagine.

Bangladesh have a genuine security concern.

There have been many incidents of minority killings in India in recent times. Considering the anti-Bangladesh sentiment in India, it makes sense for Bangladesh to not play cricket in India.

If I were a BD cricketer, I would refuse to go to India even if it is a World Cup. Safety/security is more important than playing a sport.

We are mostly talking about the cricketers and the related staff

What about the fans who want to support their team in the stadiums ?

Not a single BD fan will be safe in Indian stadiums.

BCB should also raise the issue of fan safety

There is no point of participating in a WC as a team, if your fans are either not allowed or are not safe in the stadiums you are playing at.

Bangladesh cricketers threaten boycott unless BCB director Nazmul Islam resigns​

Bangladesh's cricketers have threatened a boycott of all forms of cricket unless BCB director M Nazmul Islam tenders his resignation, following disparaging comments he made against players on Wednesday. Nazmul, the board's finance committee chairman, had said earlier on Wednesday that he believes national cricketers should be asked to return the "crores and crores of taka" that the BCB spends on them.

Mohammad Mithun, the president of the Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB), raised the prospect of a boycott - which will have immediate impact on the BPL - hours after Nazmul's press conference at the BCB's headquarters in Dhaka.

"The remark made by the BCB director [Najmul Islam] has hurt the cricket fraternity greatly and it's not acceptable," Mithun told reporters on Wednesday evening. "We demand his resignation. If he doesn't resign before tomorrow's match, we will announce a boycott of all cricket, starting from the BPL matches tomorrow (Thursday)."

There are two BPL matches scheduled for January 15. ESPNcricinfo understands that team captains Najmul Hossain Shanto (Rajshahi Warriors), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Sylhet Titans), Mahedi Hasan (Chattogram Royals) and Mithun (Dhaka Capitals), along with Noakhali coach Khaled Mahmud have confirmed their solidarity with the boycott call.

Nazmul's comments, which the BCB has officially distanced itself from, were made on the sidelines of the board's prayer meeting for the late former prime minister Khaled Zia. They come as part of ongoing reverberations from the BCB's decision to not play matches in India at the upcoming T20 World Cup. The ICC event is co-hosted with Sri Lanka and the BCB, citing security concerns, has remained firm in not wanting to play games in India, a decision they made after the BCCI instructed the Kolkata Knight Riders to remove Mustafizur Rahman from their playing roster.

Nazmul was asked questions about the potential financial implications for Bangladesh should they end up not playing in the T20 World Cup at all. He responded by saying the board would not take a hit and that only the cricketers would, adding that there would be no compensation for them should they miss out. "Why [would there be]? Are we asking them for the crores and crores of taka that we are spending on them? Answer me first.

"We are spending so much money on them, they are not being able to do anything in different places. Have we got any international awards? What have we done at any level? Let us now ask them for the money back after every time they couldn't play. Give us back. Why should there even be a question of compensating the players?"

The BCB released a statement soon after, making it clear Nazmul's views were his alone. "The Board expresses its sincere regret for remarks that may be deemed inappropriate, offensive, or hurtful. Such comments do not reflect the values, principles, or official position of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, nor do they align with the standards of conduct expected from individuals entrusted with the responsibility of serving Bangladesh cricket.

"The BCB reiterates that it does not endorse or take responsibility for any statement or remark made by any director or Board member unless issued formally through the Board's designated spokesperson or the Media & Communications Department. Any statements made outside these authorised channels are personal in nature and should not be interpreted as representing the views or policies of the Board.

"The Bangladesh Cricket Board also makes it clear that it will take appropriate disciplinary action against any individual whose conduct or comments show disrespect towards cricketers or cause harm to the reputation and integrity of Bangladesh cricket."

It is the second time in quick succession that Nazmul has put himself in the spotlight for comments against players. Earlier this week he had hit out at Tamim Iqbal in a Facebook post, over comments the former Bangladesh captain made last Friday, calling for the BCB to think through more carefully their decision-making over participation in the T20 World Cup. "Bangladesh cricket's interest, future and everything else must be considered before making such a decision," Tamim had said, urging for a resolution to be found through dialogue.

Nazmul and another board director Asif Akbar were harsh in their response to Tamim's statement, saying that he was acting in the interests of India on this issue.​

Hahahaha. Bangladesh players know that without BCCI/ ICC they are not get enough Money so they are directly threatening these radical Islamist. Good

 

[tiger_khan]

LOL CricIndo website continues to be the Indian propaganda amplifier

The last paragraph and reference to Tamim is totally irrelevant

The main cause of BD players' anger is the BCB executive's ill thought statement re the BD players not getting compensated if the the T20 WC is boycotted by the country. The Executive made a stupid comment regarding BD players have been getting paid despite they have not been meeting the expectations



Good to see that the Bhakts not only share the links of the articles but their entire body too when the articles don't start with the phrase "Contradicting reports"

In the presence of the phrase, they only share the misleading headings of Cricindo


More false hope for the Bhakts. I blame the CricIndo

If I were a BD cricketer, I would refuse to go to India even if it is a World Cup. Safety/security is more important than playing a sport.

It’s not just about Bangladesh

what about the Christian players who represent countries like England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the West Indies?

We literally just witnessed what happened to Christians in India during Christmas, churches vandalised, communities attacked, and people assaulted simply because of their faith. Videos and reports were everywhere.

Security in india should be questioned infact India should be given any hosting u till they fix up

The main cause of BD players' anger is the BCB executive's ill thought statement re the BD players not getting compensated if the the T20 WC is boycotted by the country. The Executive made a stupid comment regarding BD players have been getting paid despite they have not been meeting the expectations



Good to see that the Bhakts not only share the links of the articles but their entire body too when the articles don't start with the phrase "Contradicting reports"

In the presence of the phrase, they only share the misleading headings of Cricindo


More false hope for the Bhakts. I blame the CricIndo

So the director attacking another player before is irrelevant to an article about how players are boycotting him for attacking then?

Low how blindly biased, low IQ people point fingers and accuse others of being biased. Irony died a 199 deaths.

But there is a saying - apni ankhein band karne se duniya soordas nahi ho kati

T: Closing your own eyes doens't make the entire world blind.

It's kind of sad you guys are so steeped in hatred you are justifying abs defending attacking your own players who played for you so long and you accuse anyone speaking sense of being an Indian agent.

Such a delusional country can never prosper

 

[Sachin fan]

I wouldn't be suprised if this is fake news

Lol, the BPL matches scheduled today have literally not happened, even the toss haven't taken place yet.

Love how those who lie and lie and lie and deny reality a million times accuse others of spreading fake news. Lying and projection should be olympic sports, both Bangladesh and Pakistan will win gold medals for sure.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bangladesh director shouldn't have said words like Indian agent.

The last Indian agent is in exile from the country and facing death sentence for crimes against humanity. So it is unfair to label Tamim in the same way.

Hopefully they can resolve this situation amicably and unite against external threats.

 

[NishanKonar]

Bangladesh players have had enough of this nonsense. They want that idiot director Nazmul sacked. Sensible stuff from the players. They dont want their cricketing careers affected by incompetent officials

Started with boycott calls for India. Ended up with BPL boycott

 

[NishanKonar]

Bangladesh cricketers issued ultimatum to BCB director Nazmul Islam to resign, if not the cricketers will boycott all forms of cricketers.

Earlier BCB Director termed Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal as indian agent.

It shows how much venom spread in Bangladesh politicians n the cricket board

Like I said the anti India hate in Bangladesh is mostly fanned by corrupt politicians to divert attention from pressing issues like inflation , economic slowdown , falling exports

Just like Mohsin Naqvi picks up fights with BCCI to play the jingoism card and cover up Pakistan's pathetic record in recent times

 

[Vikram1989]

Lol, the BPL matches scheduled today have literally not happened, even the toss haven't taken place yet.

With their hatred, people can't differentiate an india centric website and gossip site.

 

[Valkyrie™]

Quite funny how people connect two dots and spread propaganda. The boycott happened due to financial comments made towards the players and they have 5 points that needs to be addressed. So easy to utter vomits but not check facts.

 

[zahid01]

It's hilarious that these Pak and BD fans even believe their boards can cause BCCI any damage.

I think bcci is shooting itself in the foot don't need pak or Bangladesh help all three countries should not be given icc tournaments until they are willing to travel to each other countries I am sick of this crap.

 

[nish_mate]

Can the title be updated to Bangla players refuse to travel to BPL matches in Bangladesh

 

[KingKhanWC]

Can the title be updated to Bangla players refuse to travel to BPL matches in Bangladesh

Why , have they agreed to travel to India now?

 

[nish_mate]

Why , have they agreed to travel to India now?

They aint even traveling to their local matches, protesting against their own officials now. That needs to be resolved before travelling to India resolves- pls do keep up.

Different situation, that’s a domestic issue

yes, however a fallout of this whole saga, its really time now. No scriptwriter could have come up with it.

 

[NishanKonar]

Lol. Looks like BPL has got suspended

Elite level clownery going on

Remember it's all "dal*ls" faults. never the Bangla clowns fault- they can never be at fault.... always some one's else's fault or agents...

[Energy]

And there was a thread where posters were congratulating showers to Bangladesh for showing more spine than Pakistan.

BCB makes PCB look 100x better in handling processes.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Okay I can somehow understand the mouse stepping on the lion's tail because the lion is annoying him and trying to fight.

Why is the 2nd mouse dancing in front of lion for no reason at all ?

 

[sweep_shot]

Agree.

This entire situation turned into a hodgepodge.

ICC should just ban BD so that BD can focus on the greatest sport in the world (football). A sport that has not been hijacked by the Indians.

 

[Devadwal]

And there was a thread where posters were congratulating showers to Bangladesh for showing more spine than Pakistan.

Different is Pakistan was not closing the door of negotiations Where BCB is closing all the options of negotiations to appease the local Public as election is around the corner.

This is repeat of Nawaz vs imran Khan . Nawaz Sharif never closed the option of negotiations while Imran target/ abused everyone's so door of negotiations shut.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why , have they agreed to travel to India now?

No. They haven't agreed to do that.

It is an internal issue.

Basically, BCB director called out player performance and players got mad.

 

[NishanKonar]

Remember it's all "dal*ls" faults. never the Bangla clowns fault- they can never be at fault.... always some one's else's fault or agents...

Like I said for both Pakistani & Bangladeshi officials - picking up fights with BCCI is the best way to divert attention from the shambolic manner in which they run their cricketing affairs and run their teams to the ground

 

[nish_mate]

Where's the self respect of Bangladeshi cricketers gone now that a Bangladeshi power crazy nutter called them losers without calling them losers ...

 

[light]

BD is steamrolling their cricket to the grave.

 

[Devadwal]

@DeadlyVenom they wants players to boycott india but look like players are boycotting BPL

This is utter Humiliation for BCB .

 

[nish_mate]

After this letting cat out of the bag blooper by this so called Director of BCB which self respecting league would like to select Bangla players, when their own board doesn't rate them

Bangla cricket's 'ed out by its own board directors ...in footballing parlance an own goal

 

[Devadwal]

BD is steamrolling their cricket to the grave.

More to comes, no series with india cost them a lot , they are already in financial crisis which is the reason why BPL franchisee unable to pay the player's.

They deserved this Humiliation .

 

[Devadwal]

This was making Big statement against India but now he is sacked

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bcb-removes-nazmul-islam-as-director-after-player-boycott-halts-bpl-matches-1519591

 

[sweep_shot]

I know India is trying to create all sorts of unrest in BD.

BD board should not lose focus. Do not send team to India. Easy peasy.

As for players who are boycotting and stuff, ban them from cricket for 20 years. They haven't achieved much anyway. Attitude without performance looks silly.

 

[nish_mate]

"Attitude without performance looks silly"....sums up BCB perfectly in this whole and move our venues saga...

 

[Devadwal]

It was because of BCCI that Bangladesh got full membership of ICC and if BCCI wants, Bangladesh cricket can also end.

Ye apni hasiyat bhool gye hai.

BTW, this boycott has nothing to do with India.

It is an internal issue. Basically, BCB director called out player performances. Players felt disrespected and wanted director to apologize/resign. That's what this drama is about.

 

[Devadwal]

So should PCB offer to host all Bangladesh Group Games plus Super 8 games and maybe even one SemiFinal?

Not really interested in logistics nor ticket sales… I don’t think anyone cares about ICC events losing money as long as BCCI is subsidizing eveything lol

Remember Strength through Peace and Diplomacy through Cricket

@DeadlyVenom @Major @Rana @The Bald Eagle Pakistan can provide them Money and host the remaining BPL matches in Pakistan. Not a bad Idea right?

 

[nish_mate]

Remind us how this so called internal affairs started;
and at which press conference related to which matters did this Director of BCB comment from...

Bolo bolo

 

[The Bald Eagle]

@DeadlyVenom @Major @Rana @The Bald Eagle Pakistan can provide them Money and host the remaining BPL matches in Pakistan. Not a bad Idea right?

Good idea that is for T20 WC next month

 

[Devadwal]

Good idea that is for T20 WC next month

Wo to bina BCCI ki permission ke possible nhi h to bhul jao. .ab BPL kp host or financial help wo kar sakte ho wo tunhare hand mai hai.

 

[KingKhanWC]

No. They haven't agreed to do that.

It is an internal issue.

So Pak and Bang wont be in India. Great news, their safety is priority.

Only Modi's grandkids care what the BCCI thinks.

Yes.

As of now, BD's stance regarding going to India has not changed. BD do not want to send a team to India.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yes.

Its only cricket, a sport. After India have been causing terrorism and supporting an evil puppet, why would anyone want to go to India, its hardly Switzerland.

Agree.

India have turned cricket into a complete circus. I am honestly losing interest in cricket.

I still enjoy series like Ashes, AUS-SA etc. But, world cups are starting to become a farce. India do all sorts of shenanigans. They get unfair perks too (scheduling perks, venue perks etc.).

 

[Devadwal]

They are more safe in india than in Pakistan with radicals.

 

[Rajdeep]

Okay I can somehow understand the mouse stepping on the lion's tail because the lion is annoying him and trying to fight.

Why is the 2nd mouse dancing in front of lion for no reason at all ?

It is indeed sad the way Pak posters like @DeadlyVenom and ex cricketers like Tanvir Ahmed are invested in this saga even though they have no bone in it. I was watching PTV Sports show yesterday with Tanvir in it. Even Cartoon Network back in the days were less funny. He is like 'Aur Zaleel karo inhe', 'Bangladesh ka group change kar do...C group se B group me dal do...taki woh SL me khel sake' etc etc. Then the anchor was putting more ghee on fire. Even BD cricketers are not as much invested as Pakistanis.

Someone pls remind likes of Tanvir Ahmed that India blanked them on 3 consecutive sundays recently. Someone remind him, their own team got knocked out in first round of home Champions Trophy. Someone remind him to pls focus on his team and performance than focussing on others. If this is not a case of Hum to Dube hai sanam...what is?

BCCI has not made a single statement on this issue. Bangla board meanwhile have given numerous press conference and made multiple bold statements...so much so that their BPL got suspended. So they wanted to ban IPL broadcast in their home country and ended up banning BPL. This is next level KLPD.

BCCI (the lion) has not even sneezed and this is the condition of BD team. Imagine if they even tried a bit extra to harm BD cricket...what would have happen.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Brother you and @Dr_Bassim have every right to discuss your cricketing version of Aesop fables of tigers, mice, monkey etc between yourselves but no need to include me and tag me in this conversation please thank you.

We will continue to fight for justice alongside those who care about the game, regardless of your tom and jerry discussions.

 

[Hellion]

Where's the self respect of Bangladeshi cricketers gone now that a Bangladeshi power crazy nutter called them losers without calling them losers ...

He is right. They are losers when it comes to cricket.

They haven't reached KO stage of any World Cup/World T20 despite being around for 27/28 years whereas Afghans already have made it once.

But they are a rising football powerhouse and that's what we need to watch out for.

Brother your views on BBC director calling Bangla cricketers "non performing duds" in a press conference about BCB not playing in India? On one hand BCBs fighting for their cricketers self respect after unfortunate
saga and then in same breathcall their players worth nothing ..now this is being brushed under the carpet. Please do stand up for the meek kittens from Bangladesh being bullied by their board director.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Where's the self respect of Bangladeshi cricketers gone now that a Bangladeshi power crazy nutter called them losers without calling them losers ...

by all accounts he called them losers by calling them losers

well PSL will select them as they have no other options. Only currently active players who will be available for PSL are BD players

 

[SportsWarrior]

that statement is a "sweeping" statement including every bangladeshi ever

 

[nish_mate]

PSLs a very competitive league in the top 3, it can do better than drafting Bangla players.

 

[tiger_khan]

From the Indian wailing and newly discovered interest in BD's private League;

I take it that no decision has been reached yet about whether the games will be moved in the T20 WC or not

The world's "strongest" board can't make an announcement through ICC about the final decision

This is the 18th page of wailing
