Tournament is 2 weeks away. Bcb should give an ultimatum to icc on venue by this weekend else they should back out. They will have no preparation on a random chosen venue if its in the nth hour.

To indian posters calling bangladeshis as kanglus, please stay civil, we don't need to use derogatory words against them because of few posters like sweepshot.
At this point I think it's best bCB backs out and let's Scotland in. ICC dragged this for to long. It would be near impossible to move everything now with this 2 weeks window.

Don't BCB get their players ready? Shouldn't they pressurize ICC to give the answer as early as possible instead of saying "We didn't hear anything" "We didn't get any ultimatum". What is the plan here?

Not even sure yet whether we'll go to the World Cup: Litton Das
"It's not safe [to answer]," Bangladesh T20 captain Litton Das reacted sharply on Tuesday, stopping a journalist mid-question when his question led towards the ongoing impasse in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup.
Das, the Rangpur Riders captain, was addressing the media after his side was knocked out of BPL following a three-wicket defeat to Sylhet Titans in the Eliminator. However, the discussion quickly shifted away from the match and towards the uncertainty surrounding Bangladesh's participation in the World Cup and the players' role in the decision-making process.
Over the weekend, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) held talks with ICC officials in Dhaka over the impasse, but no agreement was reached. The BCB had requested a change of venue away from India after the BCCI directed IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders to release Mustafizur Rahman from their squad amid prevailing political tensions between the two Asian countries.
Asked whether he agreed with the board's stance regarding the World Cup, Das chose to tread carefully. "No comments," Das he began.
"Are you sure we're going to the World Cup?
"You don't know, I don't know, we're on the same page. The World Cup is still a long way away. We're not even sure yet whether we'll go to the World Cup at all.
"Everyone is playing the BPL, that is true, but if we had known who our group opponents were or which country we were going to, that would have helped. Until now, no player knows which country we are going to or whom we will play against. Like me, the whole of Bangladesh is now in uncertainty," he said.
Das revealed that players' consent had not been sought regarding participation in the World Cup. "No (consent was not taken)," he said in a firm tone, before adding that he was unsure whether players should have been consulted before the decision was taken to not play the tournament in India, citing security concerns, a position reiterated hours earlier by Bangladesh's sports advisor, who insisted the government was not ready to change its stand.
"I don't know but there has been no communication with me. Many things in life are not ideal, but you have to accept them according to the situation," Das said before shifting focus to the workload topic.
"We've played so many T20 matches, the entire BPL, that wasn't ideal. But we still had to play. What else can we do?
"From today, the games are over. I'll relax in my room. Recovery is needed because these matches took a lot out of us. We've been playing continuously in a rush without any break. There hasn't been time for recovery. When you play international cricket, you play a game, get a break, recover, and build strength. But throughout the BPL, I don't think anyone got that chance. Especially the Rangpur team, we didn't get it at all, because we played back-to-back matches."
Looking ahead, Das pointed out that there was still be time to prepare mentally if the World Cup goes ahead as scheduled for Bangladesh.
"From now, there will be opportunities (for others to prepare for World Cup) considering those who finish playing on the 23rd (BPL Final), if the World Cup starts on the 7th, then from the 23rd to the 7th there are 14 days. Mentally, there will be plenty of time to think and prepare [for World Cup] .

Former cricketer Salman Butt grilled PCB on its rumoured stance to boycott upcoming world cup in solidarity with BCB:
"You just float things to test the waters and check what reactions are coming through. I don't know what will happen. Pakistan says it is standing with Bangladesh. What options are there, though? If Bangladesh don't play, will you also not play?"
"Would you allow them the space, or do you think your (Pakistan) threat is so overwhelming that ICC would agree? At the end of the day, it is all about the decision maker and what he thinks"
"The same goes for the organiser of the World Cup. If you allowed this for one team [shifting matches to Sri Lanka for India/Pakistan], then how can you say 'play or we will get someone else on board'?"
"We heard that preparations have been stopped, but only 2-4 boys were preparing for the tournament. So what preparation did you actually stop? I don't know whether it is a rumour, self-created, or floated just to check reactions"

I already said this yesterday, players will revolt against their own board if they are forced to sit out of WT20. Same thing will happen with Pak cricketers if PCB decides to boycott. Players are athletes...they want nothing more than play.

Pakistani Govt and cricket board should stand with the BCB and BD people
Boycott the WC if BD is made to pull out the the tournament
T20 WC is nothing special. Happens every two years
It will also be difficult in an international Court to have an unfavorable decision against Pakistan if two teams pull out of the tournament
Rest assured that if the legal proceedings are commenced the matter will go to the international Court
All the security warnings issued by Indian platforms and the prior accommodations to other countries will be taken into consideration. The fact that the current ICC chair was a former head of also a former head of BCCI and a relative of an Indian minister will also play in favour of Pakistan
Pakistan has nothing to lose here except missing a redundant tournament
A better opportunity to hurt the wallet of a bigoted board might not come again
Needless to say the security of BD players and fans are paramount

If you want to do your shows of solidarity, nobody is stopping you from doing them... why are you focing the rest of the people who simply don't care and just want to watch cricket.
Believe it or not, some people watch crciket precisely to escape this type of nonsense.

No Official statement by the ICC yet about the ultimatum
The BCB has denied the deadline
The endresult might very well be the same but the recent history is full of Indian platforms spreading disinformation and quoting eachother in circles
I hope everyone remembers
CricIndo gave the same ultimatum almost a week ago. Subsequent to that ultimatum ICC had multiple meetings with the BCB

But don't pretend that cricket is just being played as a sport now. It's being used as a foreign policy tool

What reality ? The IPL Bollywood circus ?
India with 2 billion people and only one sport still doesn’t have power or influence to bring Bangladesh to their lands .
The reality is Aussies and English only come to India for easy money , a few hours of work in a circus . Otherwise no Aussie or Englishman would go to India . You live there and still don’t get it .

You are free to watch, nobody is coming to remove the TV from your home.
But PCB has to act in the interests of Pakistan and for world cricket. The shenanigans BCCI is pulling makes it difficult to use cricket as any form of escapism.
Every tournament is rigged in their favour and it gets worse year on year.

Bangladesh should not play in Bangladsh until India have a regime change and until extremism in India go down significantly. This means BD should also not play in India for 2029 CT if they qualify.
No compromise.
Considring cricket's contribution to BD's GDP is very small (less than 1%), there is no need to take any security risk. It is a high risk and low reward situation.

Why? What made PCB the moral authority on what is right and wrong? Last I remember, PCB were making clowns of themselves in the Asia Cup and were the laughing stock of the cricket world for all their false bravado that came undone when they lost all 3 matches to India. Pakistan cricket has far greater and more deep-rooted issues for the PCB to focus on then taking meaningless stands of solidarity that won't make any difference in the grand scheme of things.
The power structures of international cricket may be rigged, but when you cut through the noise and the B.S, it remains a sport decided on the field by 22 men, where skill determines outcomes and the better side usually prevails. None of this posturing from BCCI or BCB or whoever else changes that basic fact.

They became a laughing stock for losing some matches of cricket? That is a weird take.
And as far as I can remember PCB didn't do anything to make clowns of themselves. They responded a couple of times to Indian provocation. Most of the reaction from the general cricket watching community has been critical of India.
9 times out of 10 it is Pakistan that is affected. It is our migrant players that are under the scanner when playing in India, it is our tournament that gets shifted, our players that are blacklisted from many overseas leagues.
You may be able to separate the political stuff as if it is immaterial and focus on the field stuff but most of us cannot, in the face of such fundamental unfairness and inequality, because situations like these, caused primarily by Indians, actually stops this from becoming a game where skill usually triumphs and takes it towards a game run by corporates for the benefits of certain teams, sponsors, and shareholders.
As I said, nobody is going to take your TV, watch to your hearts content, but people have every right to highlight what's going on and state their disgust at the way this one great sport is used and abused by Indians.

100% agreement
People are not taking into consideration that the BD fans will not be able to either travel to the Indian stadiums or even if they get there, they could be risking their lives
What kind of a "sports" event is this that fans have to risk their lives to support their team in the stadium and on their way to the stadium. There was a reason Calcutta was chosen for the BD games. To accommodate BD fans.
Pak posters expectedly are not aware of what's happening in India presently. People, including senior sports analysts are reporting that Indian West Bengal labors are being abused, assaulted and harassed because they look and talk like BD people
Why should BD fans risk their lives by visiting India?
BD and BCB have every right to ask for the relocation of their games so that their fans can also enjoy and support their teams
Pak govt and PCB should also support the BCB because Pakistan has been the victim of the same biased approach
To avoid the future intervention of Indian politics in future, PCB must do politics now
PS: Pakistani citizens have been denied hotel accommodations in India upon reaching the location after prior reservation. They will do the same to BD fans under the pressure of the bigots. This will put BD fans at more risk.

Either you didn't read the post or it went over your head. The PCB became a laughing stock because for all their chest-thumping and public statements - some of which were just as political as some of the ones India made - at the end of the day, their team failed to get the job done when it actually mattered and got their a$$es kicked 3/3 times.
The cricket team was there to win the Asia Cup, but by the end all the discourse was dominated by how Pakistan and India got into a petty, politically-charged spat and one team beat the other one 3/3 times. It was an embarrassing public relations disaster for PCB in every sense of the word, capped off by that cringeworthy closing ceremony and yet some fans still seem to have learned nothing from the entire ordeal.
I'll spell it out nonetheless - when the dust settles the only thing that truly matters in a sport like cricket is your performance on the field.

Just because someone is rolling in the mud doesn’t mean you have to feast in the filth too.
You should hold yourself to a higher standard - just because they are politicizing the game doesn’t mean you have to get dragged into it too. There are professional ways to handle such situations, but PCB doesn’t understand that. Their incompetence was on full display in the Asia Cup.

Like I said, you’re welcome to have your stance, but most Pakistani cricket fans don’t give a damn about this issue. PCB’s job isn’t to be a mouthpiece for the Pakistani government, it’s to run cricket in Pakistan professionally. Fans don’t give them moral authority to turn cricket into a political tool just because other countries are doing the same. Infact, based on what I've seen fans generally delude themselves into thinking they have more influence than they actually do.

I am not a defender of PCB
Indeed a lot of work needs to be done
For starters, Mohsin Naqvi is using it to promote himself. The team is not being selected on merit basis but political affiliations of the players and their relationships with powerful people
Nevertheless, I support 100%, replying to Indian political exploitation of cricket with political tactics by a representative of Pak cricket, which happens to be the PCB
Lastly, talking about standards, we all need to improve our standards. T20 is not even cricket. It's a circus. It's not even a sport because no significant physical exertion is required. Maybe we need to improve our cricketing standards? Rather than making a big deal out of a redundant T20 cricket tournament, which takes place every other year, we need to concentrate on proper cricket. Help our eyeballs & TV sets to support real cricket rather than a circus called T20

Was there a referendum held? How do you know that most of the Pak fans don't care about the issue?
This very thread suggests otherwise
This is not an intention to belittle your stance which you are entitled to, I am seriously curious...what's the prove of it?
I can understand if someone asserts that fans are divided on the issue, observing the political environment, but from where are you getting your positively undeniable impression that most of the Pak fans don't care about the issue?
Kindly elaborate

Pakistan has been cornered by the Politics of cricket too
Here lies the chance for Pakistan to have a partner in form of BD and confront the political intervention in cricket so that it can be avoided in future and Pakistan doesn't become a victim of it again
How much has Pakistan been cornered politically? A person close to the BJP government and other bigots called and threatened a NZ player's wife while the former was touring Pakistan. The tour was cancelled because of the terror call and no one was held accountable
Since Pakistan has also been a victim of what BD is going through presently, it has every stake in the episode to avoid political intervention in future by Indian bigots
It's a strategic approach to the current episode. Not a tactical one. Pakistan has a strategic stake.

Forgot to mention that Pak & BD markets are almost half a billion people with their eyeballs and TV sets
Regardless of how much the Indians would like to deny it, it will eventually affect the TV Rights prices
Any cricket lovers who want to bring back the apolitical version of cricket, will be served better if they support the amalgamation PCB & BCB interests
Pakistan is a very important team in the cricket world. Indians would rather watch Pak vs India games instead of supporting the widows of murdered Indian men
But Pakistan can't do it alone. It needs the help from other cricket boards. With BD we become a market of almost half a billion people. Know your power and potential.
We will still be the second biggest market but we will take away almost half a billion people from the largest market. The TV rights prices and sponsorship revenues won't remain the same, minus half a billion people. Especially, when it comes to the ICC events hosted by India.

How do you know they do care? You are the one who is bringing a minority view, not me. What makes you think that the vast majority of Pakistani cricket fans care about an issue that doesn't concern them in any way whatsoever?
This forum doesn't even represent a small minority of cricket fans in Pakistan. It represents a small sub-set of hardcore fans who are also regular visitors of this website. If this is what you're basing your opinion on then I can only laugh.

So you can extrapolate on this forum but others can't?
Can you share any link to a public opinion poll backing your assertion? I suppose not otherwise you would have already shared
You are absolutely right, you should laugh.
Something tells me that you spend most of the day laughing

Enlighten me, what exactly have Pakistan achieved so far by replying to Indian political exploitation in cricket besides losing lawsuits they themselves filed, getting humiliated after asking for the removal of a match referee, losing to India 3/3 times in three successive weeks and taking the Asia Cup trophy hostage?
You think T20 is "not even cricket" and "a circus" yet here you are writing multiple posts focused on the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. If I dislike something that much I generally don't watch it and don't feel the need to talk about it. I mean I would look like a bit of a moron if I went up to the NFL threads and talked about how much I hate American Football and how stupid I think the sport is, but I digress....
Once again, you’re confusing having an opinion with preaching. I don’t need you to tell me what is or isn’t “real” cricket, I’m perfectly capable of figuring that out for myself. I’ll watch as much T20 and Test cricket as I like.
In the meantime, you might want to look up the terms preaching and shoving your opinions down people’s throats, because that’s exactly what you’re doing - presenting your personal stance as if it’s some universal truth everyone else is obligated to accept.

You are absolutely right. They didn't.
But ground realities have changed hence we need to improvise too
Today the Canadian PM gave an anti-US speech. This was totally unthinkable just couple of years ago. When the ground realities change, reactions need to change too
I appreciate that people are still approaching cricket as a sport. Unfortunately, it's not just a sport anymore. It's being used as a political instrument by Indians. It's only natural to have political reactions to political actions
If you ask me, Pakistan is just making noises just for fun (if the news is true). It is 100% unlikely that they won't participate because of Bangladesh. Unlike Bangladesh, Pakistan has nothing to gain here and everything to lose. All of their matches are outside of India to begin with. Both BCB and PCB had their share of stupidity against each other, as the worldcup date nears, this news will be burried and forgotten. Everyone will participate except Bangladesh and most likely will be replaced by Scotland.
I personally believe that there is some sort of a security threat - maybe not for the players who probably will receive high end security personals with them - but their fans who will most likely get abused verbally (and physically - hopefully not). South Asia in general has a good amount of low IQ individuals and what I said about the abuse is not farfetched. For this reason, I wanted their match to be shifted to SL - but I guess logistics reasons wise even ICC can't make it happen.

Your approach to the episode is pragmatic and not far-fetched
However, the politicization of sports is not akin to only South Asia. If you follow winter Olympics, Western nations fight like animals too. The awarding of medals have been reversed due to political stances and judges have been abused
In the past summer Olympics, nations have opted out of the event depending on the host's political block (Western vs Eastern blocks)
Presently, Russia has been kicked out of many sporting events
Those who follow soccer know that many European countries have a Nazi problem. Colored players have been harassed and abused. Colored spectators have been assaulted.
In summary, it's not just South Asia. Sports have been officially and unofficially politicized in the entire world. In many cases, fans have got physically hurt.

Why did the PCB betray Bangladesh? First, they fully supported Bangladesh, but when they needed to boycott from PCB they backstabbing
BCB and now it has pushed them to the brink of being kick out from the World T20 by the ICC.

Pakistan should not boycott, they have no solid reason of their own to make a case of it... We are already playing our games in SL so this leaves us with no excuse.
Offering Bangladesh games to be held in Pakistan is a different thing and siding with them is a moral thing to do

How is BCB refusing to travel shenanigans of BCCI?
And once again, bitter sore losers crying and whining after india wins dont make any allegations fo rigging true. Nor can people with immature toddler like mentality do anything for the betterment of themselves, let alone the world.
That's the difference between mentality do different countries. Aussies love to win and hate to lose. They are even serious about winning league games in BBL.If there was any rigging or unfair advantage they would be the first ones to protest.
The counties which actually have a chance to win like Australia don't think there is any rigging and try their hardest. The counties deep in conspiracy theories which have destroyed progress in not just cricket but the country itself are perpetual victims and believe in every conspiracy theory.
This is why nations like Australia will progress will Pakistan never will. This perpetual sense of always being victims, this perpetual belief that there is a conspiracy theory everywhere.
What does this lead to? It's leads to the people in the country believing nothing matters. They don't need to better themselves, they don't need to improve themselves. They don't need to improve their country. They don't even need democracy because what's the point? It's all a giant conspiracy. So instead of improving themselves they believe in attacking others, pulling others down, terrorism also originates from the same mentality.
That's the difference between a country like Australia and a country like Pakistan.
Before trying to fix the world, maybe take a long hard look at yourself. This perpetual victim hood mentality is not healthy for you or your country

According to reports, PCB has now formally backed the BCB and a meeting has been called for the entire ICC board for today
I guess we will find out now how much of the Jan 21st deadline was real. It seems unlikely that the decision will be made within just one full ICC Board meeting. Usually, big decisions like this one take more than one interaction
Furthermore, there was another negative political development between the BD and India. India has recalled the family members of all of its diplomats residing in BD. This is referred to as downgrading of diplomacy with another state. No relatives of Indian diplomats are allowed in Pakistan and vice versa, either.
It is apparent that the current diplomatic and cricket politics between the two countries are going to be negative for a while
Pakistan should give an unconditional support to BD

Pakistan Cricket Board Shoots Letter To ICC Supporting BCB's Refusal To Play T20 World Cup In India
In a major development, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly written a letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC) showing its support to the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) stance of not willing to play their T20 World Cup 2026 matches in India. The communication was reportedly sent on Tuesday – just a day before an ICC board meeting that will take a final call on the crisis.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the PCB has also kept the ICC board members in the loop, but the letter is unlikely to impact the global governing body’s decision.
While BCB has refused to budge, the ICC has also communicated to the board that the schedule for the marquee tournament, to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, will not be modified.
Bangladesh are scheduled to play their group matches in Kolkata and Mumbai. However, it has asked the ICC to shift its matches to Sri Lanka after their cricketer Mustafizur Rahman was released by IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders on BCCI’s instructions.
BCB cites security concerns in India as the reason behind its refusal to travel to the country. There was an outrage in India over Mustafizur’s IPL 2026 participation in the wake of the attacks on minorities in Bangladesh.
There have been unconfirmed reports of PCB allegedly offering to play host to the matches involving Bangladesh. Additionally, there were rumours that Pakistan may review its participation in the tournament depending on the outcome of BCB’s demand.
Bangladesh players boycotted all forms of cricket in the country after ex-chairman of its finance committee M. Nazmul Islam made disparaging remarks against the national players. Islam had said that the players will not be compensated if Bangladesh withdraws from the T20 World Cup. He had also claimed that the players should return the “crores and crores of takas" the board spends on them if they don’t perform well.

Anyone who is looking for news in dailystar BD, anyone who is meowing with a name tiger, anyone who is seriously wanting pakistan to quit world T20 in support of BD is unlikely to be a pak fan. I doubt even BD fan would be supporting Bangladesh this much lol

Indiots criticizing Pak posters for following BD news outlets are sharing links from News 18 India owned by Mukesh Ambani - a big donor to BJP
Not only that but News 18 is infamous for blatantly spread disinformation and anti-muslim hate. Including but not limited to the propaganda that Muslim spit in food and fruits before selling them to Hindus

Remember the dialogues and fake bravado by the PCB before the last CT?
"Hybrid model is out of question",
"No question of shifting matches outside Pakistan"

Hey I know we influenced you and made you miss a world cup, but you can understand why we won't boycott the cup ourselves right?
We wrote a letter expressing support, even got Babar to touch it before sending! What more do you expect from us?
PCB played Bangladesh big time, got them to bother india while staying away themselves without being affected themselves. Another proxy war by them with Bangladesh as pawns.

BCB has been played big time by PCB here. PCB tries to annoy and inconvenience India every time, picks fights with BCCI and usually lose or get sued for damages.
This time they cleverly provoked BCB and promised support and got them to do the dirty work.
Now it's Bangladesh who might not play and it's players affected and nothing happens to PCB and Pakistani players while PCB can just pretend to support by sending letters while still themselves playing.

Why are motions being launched in Delhi courts to stop Bangladesh playing any sports lol
Do the Indian public know that they don't control and rig every support, just cricket?
Hope Naqvi mentions this in upcoming ICC meeting.

I know Naqvi is powerful but he isn't powerful enough to downgrade Indian diplomatic relationship with Bangladesh, discard Fizz from league declaring victory for Hindus in process, remove Indian sponsorship from Hindu brother Das, launch petitions in Indian courts etc etc
Come on

Today is a big day.
I think after the D day of Normandy landings during WW2, today is the most significant day for planet green earth.
Today the world will get to know whether mighty Bangladesh will play in WT20 cricket or not.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday pulled up a law student for her Public Interest Litigation (PIL) aimed at preventing Bangladesh from participating in the upcoming men's T20 World Cup due to the atrocities against its minority Hindu population.
The petition also requested that the International Cricket Council (ICC) allow Bangladesh to compete in international cricket events only if it is confirmed that the country is not violating any human rights.
During the hearing, a bench consisting of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia questioned the rationale behind the petition. "What kind of petition is this? Whatever captures your imagination becomes the subject matter of a writ petition?" they asked the petitioner's counsel, Devyani Singh.
The petition called for the ICC to establish an independent commission to "investigate, examine, and document the systemic persecution, targeted violence, mob lynchings, temple desecration, and other human rights violations against the Hindu minority in the country of Bangladesh and to submit a comprehensive report to this Hon'ble Court within a stipulated timeframe.
The bench inquired whether the ICC, which organises international cricket events, could be subjected to the jurisdiction of the high court and advised the petitioner to exercise caution in pursuing the PIL.
The court told the petitioner to do "constructive work" and "bring some good causes" rather than wasting her own time and the court's resources.
No writ can go to the Bangladesh High Commission. No writ can go to the Sri Lankan Cricket Board. No writ can go to the ICC. No writ can go even to the government of India to act in a particular manner with respect to dealing with the situation which has arisen in Bangladesh because of certain events. These are the prerogatives of the executive," said the court.

Pakistan also raised security issue prior to WC 2023 and ICC kept all their matches in Chennai and Hyderabad, except the India game. A smart man like Najam Sethi allowed the team to travel. Not only Pak players didnt face any security issues but openly admired the hospitality and Biryani they got.
Are Bangladeshi players at more risk in India than Pakistanis? Ofcorse not. Only thing they should have requested is to move the matches from Calcutta and Bombay to Madras and Hyderabad. I have said the same thing from very first day.
However, we all know security is not the reason. It is pure politics. BD Govt want to show its awaam that they are anti India before crucial election on Feb 12. Meanwhile, PCB under Moshin Naqvi, found a perfect opportunity for point scoring after humiliations of CT and Asia cup.
ICC as a board must comes strict and not entertain any such nonsense.

"The PCB has said in the e-mail that the demand by the Bangladesh board is justified and must be accepted and that if there are any issues moving Bangladesh matches to Sri Lanka, Pakistan is ready to host all their games," a PCB source told PTI.
Can never trust Press Trust of India but if true then the whole world should congratulate PCB on its efforts to bring this dispute to an end.

ICC’s independent security agency has given threat assessment to the T20 World Cup as “low”. Interestingly the same agency has labelled Pak-Aus series in Pakistan as “high” - yet Australia is touring Pakistan.
And PCB will talk about security threat for Bangladesh in India in the ICC Board meeting today?
Not easy for ICC but unfortunately Bangladesh’s demands set to be rejected today
