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

[Snowflake]

I think the ICC is flexing its muscle only because it’s a Weak board like BD. It’s a rare opportunity for the ICC to show the world that it has a spine - and they are taking full advantage of it.

I think it’s totally reasonable to swap BD and Ireland so BD can play all its group games in SL. Win-win for all. But as I said, rare opportunity for ICC and they don’t want to let it go

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indians already mentally preparing for failing to bring one of the guests to their home. Damn. I thought BCCI was all powerful.

Not sure bringing bD to India was ever considered a postive thing. Nobody is a winner here. Just one loser which is Bangladesh. First team to pull out of an ICC event because a private league dropped a player after auction. That bizzarre ignominy will stay with them forever.

 

[Local.Dada]

Why in the world would Pak withdraw?

PCB sources “allegedly” made false bravado statements to stand by Bangladesh if they didn’t have their way. Might be rumors but never say never with PCB

 

[Usman Chadda]

This decision is more about ICC/broadcasters vs BCB, rather than BCCI vs BCB.

Modifying the schedule after it has been announced will be a logistical nightmare for any broadcaster, and such a short turnaround would have landed ICC in trouble. Tickets had been sold aswell and multiple teams would have been affected had the games been shifted to Sri Lanka.

A much easier headache for the broadcasters/ICC to replace the team altogether than to manage Bangladesh's request.

Not really, BCB has shown that they have self respect by refusing to play in a country who called their one player a security risk but then were forcing them to bring 15 of their players to the same country. They simply exposed indian hypocrisy and dehati pan.

Ireland have basically refused to swap and visit India. So nothing ICC could do. They can't force Ireland to go to India either can the.

So looks like now scorecards and outdated memes can be copy pasted with no personal emotions attached

Exactly.

Bangladesh overplayed their hand. Nobody ( sponsors and broadcasters ) cares about them. Nothing much changes if they get replaced by Scotland.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ireland have basically refused to swap and visit India. So nothing ICC could do. They can't force Ireland to go to India either can the.

Nobody is even talking about the broadcasters, which have a massive say in how these events are run.

They were the main reason BCCI couldn't boycott any games against Pakistan in the Asia Cup.

 

[Devadwal]

Still spreading the Fake Propaganda. Btw have you read the ICC judgement ?

Saarr 21 deadline Fake news hai , saarrr wo india propaganda hai , sarrr wo BCB ne reject kar diya sarrr

Humiliation for you , BCB ,BCB and all the Pakistani and Bangladeshi supporters.

Ireland have basically refused to swap and visit India. So nothing ICC could do. They can't force Ireland to go to India either can the.

 

[NishanKonar]

Pretty sure BCCI wrote a letter of support to Ireland to tell them to stand their ground and not swap with Bangladesh

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nobody is even talking about the broadcasters, which have a massive say in how these events are run.

It has become an ego issue and issue of national pride for Indian government that's all.

 

[Local.Dada]

The only reason “billion” figure is associated with a sport like cricket is because of broadcasters.

So it goes without saying.

India or Pak or any country when you are running a responsibile business and have people to feed, you don’t say no to such kind of money: no one can. It’s easy to be an armchair critic about these things but reality is different.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Exactly.

Bangladesh overplayed their hand. Nobody ( sponsors and broadcasters ) cares about them. Nothing much changes if they get replaced by Scotland.

BCB had no choice either, once the government decided they will not send their team to India.

To be honest no one besides BCCI is at fault here, the decision to include Mustafizur Rahman in the auction pool should have been reconsidered, rather than let that one decision snowball into a fight between the governing body and one of the boards.

BCCI was at fault. Agreed

But now BCB has overreacted and kicked their own foot. This " wont play in India " thing was never going to work. BD is a minnow team. Nobody cares if they play or not

In my opinion BD should have asked for a change of venue. That wud have been a face saving exercise for both sides

Now if BD accepts - it will be big egg on the face moment

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pretty sure BCCI wrote a letter of support to Ireland to tell them to stand their ground and not swap with Bangladesh

I'm not sure if it's possible, do BCCI want Bangladesh to come to the country that much to go that length? It seems a bit far fetched but you will probably know the operations of the board better.

The interim government has more on their plate than a cricket tournament, their end goal is utilizing this issue and gathering votes for the election to take place soon. You think they give a rats behind about this? They jumped on the opportunity to see this through and solidify their vote bank.

Bangladesh cricket as a whole are the eventual losers out of this, but BCCI is at fault for including a Bangladeshi player in the auction.

ICC upholds current match schedule for Men’s T20 World Cup 2026​

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed that the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will proceed as scheduled with Bangladesh’s matches to be played in India.

The decision was taken following an ICC Board meeting (via video-conference) convened to discuss the way forward after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) sought its matches be moved to Sri Lanka.

The decision was taken after considering all security assessments conducted, including independent reviews, all of which indicated there was no threat to Bangladesh players, media persons, officials and fans at any of the tournament venues in India.

The ICC Board noted that it was not feasible to make changes so close to the tournament and that altering the schedule under the circumstances, in the absence of any credible security threat, could set a precedent that would jeopardise the sanctity of future ICC events and undermine its neutrality as a global governing body.

The ICC management also engaged in a series of correspondences and meetings with the BCB in a bid to resolve the impasse, sharing detailed information on the event security plan, including layered federal and state law-enforcement support.

An ICC spokesperson said: "Over the past several weeks, the ICC has engaged with the BCB in sustained and constructive dialogue, with the clear objective of enabling Bangladesh’s participation in the tournament. During this period, the ICC has shared detailed inputs, including independent security assessments, comprehensive venue-level security plans and formal assurances from the host authorities, all of which consistently concluded that there is no credible or verifiable threat to the safety or security of the Bangladesh team in India.

“Despite these efforts, the BCB maintained its position, repeatedly linking its participation in the tournament to a single, isolated and unrelated development concerning one of its player’s involvement in a domestic league. This linkage has no bearing on the tournament’s security framework or the conditions governing participation in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

“The ICC’s venue and scheduling decisions are guided by objective threat assessments, host guarantees, and the tournament’s agreed terms of participation, which apply uniformly to all 20 competing nations. In the absence of any independent security findings that materially compromise the safety of the Bangladesh team, the ICC is unable to relocate fixtures. Doing so would carry significant logistical and scheduling consequences for other teams and fans worldwide, and would also create far-reaching precedent-related challenges that risk undermining the neutrality, fairness, and integrity of ICC governance.

“The ICC remains committed to acting in good faith, upholding consistent standards, and safeguarding the collective interests of the global game."

I mean BCB made it an ego tussle. For BCCI it wud have been more emvarrasing to have Ireland & BCB swwap groups. Bangaldesh will go around saying they made BCCI bend to their demands.

So with Ireland sticking to their group , it made life difficult for BD. Either play in India or get replaced. Win win for BCCI

 

[Smiling Creed]

Now it seems certain that BCB won't be playing in the T20 WC, it would be very interesting to how PCB reacts. Will they support the brothers or not?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bangladesh interim govt may think more about their elections than Saving the game of cricket in their country

That's exactly what I said above

 

[NishanKonar]

Bangladesh cricket as a whole are the eventual losers out of this, but BCCI is at fault for including a Bangladeshi player in the auction.

This is something I mentioned earlier. The current Yunus govt is decidedly anti India. They are constantly poking India hoping to provoke reaction and make things worse. So they want confontration not compromise

Thats why I said we have to wait for Feb elections. The new elected govt will probably be more rational & less confontrational

 

[Extra_Cover]

My take on this saga remains the same since Day 1. The perfect scenario would be as follows. ICC remove Bangladesh from the tournament, this means that decision was taken by ICC rather than Bangladesh to leave the tournament, BCB simply asked for a neutral venue for genuine security reasons which has happened 'n' number of times in the past. For BCB this is a win as well as they cannot be penalized by ICC after ICC removes them from tournament and there couldn't be any bans of any sort either. Therefore, for BCB this should be a win.

Now its time for PCB to make one solid decision that matters in the larger scheme of things and from future perspective. If PCB sticks to their word and leaves the tournament on grounds that similar to PCB the BCB had genuine security reasons which should have been adhered to by ICC.

If PCB leaves the tournament they are likely to be penalized by ICC for this forfeit and might hamper their FTP going forward. But let's be really honest here look at Pakistan cricket over the recent years. How many test matches we have been playing outside Pakistan? How many 3+ matches test series? For PCB the issue is not ICC the issue is our current cricketing prowess. If we are to improve our cricket in general then matches will automatically come along with money.

Back to topic, Pakistan is definitely not winning the T20 WC so skipping this tournament is likely to save us the embarrassment that we are generally due. The penalty might be higher than usual but PCB would have to bear this cost for future prospects and equal respect.

If both BCB and PCB are to leave a WC then it would severely undermine the legitimacy of the tournament. This WC win will not feel like WC wins of the past so there goes credibility. More importantly this would severely hamper India's chances of hosting future tournaments as there are genuine security concerns for some countries. Also not to forget the financial impact this pullout will have on ICC's revenues and both Pakistan and Bangladesh have massive audiences compared to other cricketing nations except India. So when there is a reduced traffic or eyeballs on a world tournament then not only it creates a negative impact but also has impact from financial standpoint.

I can be optimistic but like in the past I can see both BCB and PCB buckling under pressure at last moment. I hope they stick to their word this time around which might help both of them immensely in the long-run.

Why would the PCB boycott this tournament and risk getting dragged through court by the ICC?

There is no official release from the PCB stating they will boycott the World Cup, those were just media reports.

 

[Local.Dada]

I kinda respect both BCB and BCCI/ICC for sticking to its guns. Obviously if BCB turn around now and change their stance maybe not:

Chance for PCB to gain some respect points by boycotting the WT20. It will endear them to Bangladesh/ummah, it will make a huge loss for BcCI/ Ambani and ICC/ Jay Shah, it will embarrass Modi. Win-win, cmon PCB, your turn now

 

[Devadwal]

That's exactly what I said above

Bangladesh’s cricketers are being punished for no fault of theirs. They will suffer so will be BCB.

This radical extremists goverment of Bangladesh totaly destroyed entire institutions & Economy of Bangladesh .

I have zero sympathy with Bangladeshi awam because they are also part of it. They Fully deserved this Humiliation.

I wouldn’t mind losing to Scotland in semis or finals now @Rajdeep

Did PCB really say that they would boycott the tournament? I would like to see PCB's official statement about boycotting the tournament if Bangladesh doesn't get its venues changed.

And India couldn't boycott it's match against Pakistan after Operation Sindoor but PCB is expected to boycott the whole tournament for Bangladesh? Waah dadi waah.

 

[Hikaru]

Banglu security concerns were valid, I personally know many including myself who wouldn't mind throwing a shoe at some of their fans.

 

[Extra_Cover]

Why would the PCB boycott this tournament and risk getting dragged through court by the ICC?

There is no official release from the PCB stating they will boycott the World Cup, those were just media reports.

Well PCB can notify ICC of its decision to boycott however there would be legal experts available to tell PCB what route they can take.

For example as per ICC regulations the match can be forfeited by simply notifying the match referee. This is similar to boycott and PCB can go down this route if it needs to avoid any legal prosecution.

16.2 ICC Match Referee awarding a match16.2.1 A match shall be lost by a side which either
16.2.1.1 concedes defeat or
16.2.1.2 in the opinion of the ICC Match Referee refuses to play and the ICC Match Referee shall award the match to the other side.
16.2.2 If an umpire considers that an action by any player or players might constitute a refusal by either side to play then the umpires together shall inform the ICC Match Referee of this fact. The ICC Match Referee shall together with the umpires ascertain the cause of the action. If the ICC Match Referee, after due consultation with the umpires, then decides that this action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, he/she shall so inform the captain of that side. If the captain persists in the action the ICC Match Referee shall award the match in accordance with clause 16.2.1.2 above
16.2.3 If action as in clause 16.2.2 above takes place after play has started and does not constitute a refusal to play the delay or interruption in play shall be dealt with in the same manner as provided for in clauses 13.7.2 (Delayed and Interrupted Matches)and 11.4 (Changing agreed times for intervals) above. Note: In addition to the consequences of any refusal to play prescribed under this clause, any such refusal, whether temporary or final, may result in disciplinary action being taken against the captain and team responsible under the ICC Code of Conduct.

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Why in the world would Pak withdraw?

This is the latest coping mechanism. Andhbhakts want Pakistan to boycott the whole tournament over Bangladesh, but these are the same people who were jumping with joy when India played Pakistan and didn't boycott after Operation Sindoor.

Still spreading the Fake Propaganda. Btw have you read the ICC judgement ?

Sport has been hijacked as foreign policy tool of Indian government.

PCB should stay clear of the matter. This is between Bangladesh and India.

This is not just a self-respect issue but also a safety/security issue.

There have been hundreds of attacks on minorities in India in recent times. Where is the guarantee BD fans wouldn't be attacked? Even one attack would be way too many.

Bangladesh should also refuse to play in India for 2029 CT if they qualify.

Bangladesh should not play cricket in India until BJP/RSS regime is out for good and India become de-sanghified.

Useless BJP government not only can't stand by their own regressive principles, but they don't have 2 braincells to rub together either.

They should have silently told IPL teams not pick Bangladeshi players before the auction. They weren't picked last time either.

Now look at the mess they have created.

Them and their fans need to take a good hard look at themselves.

Mumbai and Ahmedabad are scheduled to host some of the games.

This is not a report or any rumour but official news from ICC.

Awwww, so much brotherly support from Pakistan.

I thought today was a he deadline of all things. Why the deadline moved?

But saar 21st deadline is fake news , saar it was india propaganda saarrrr , sarrr BCB rejected it

Now asked trophy Chor to boycott the World T20 as Bangladesh told by ICC either Play in India or will kick out from the World T20. Deadline -less than 24 hour left

 

[tiger_khan]

The ICC statement didn't even mention Scotland either

What does that mean?

There might not be enough time for Visa processing, especially for the players with Pak origin

Yes the deadline was fake because it wasn't 21st

The BCB statement was correct

Bcb can go to CAS if they want

This is poor from ICC. Why 24 hours more?

You cant keep an international body hostage and then demand more time. Chuck them out already and allow Scottish team to take part.

Absolutely nothing reported by Daily Star has been proven wrong

The excuse ICC is making is that it is too late to accomodate Bangladesh request due to logistical issues, but it is not to late to kick Bangladesh out and accomodate Scotland at the last minute?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

So Bangladesh are on the verge of being kicked out of the tournament. Honestly, my respect for them would go up tenfold if they stand their ground and accept being kicked out rather than playing their matches in India.

it would be alot like cutting your nose off to spite your face but I will respect them for taking a stand.

Not sure if their fans feel the same way though.

 

[Rajdeep]

I am busy at work...so not followed the news today. What is the latest in it?

Will Pakistan also pull out if ICC chucks Bangladesh out? Or they backtracked already like Asia cup?

ICC is just worried about protecting Jay Shah's image. Their media release was complete nonsense too. We have multiple ICC tournaments rigged in India's favour, but while there is appetite from Indian fans for this WWE type scripting then things will continue or get worse.

With all due respect, your respect won’t matter. It takes real money to run an administration. Boards like Bangladesh etc run hand to mouth. Showing bravado won’t employ the board members, pump money in the cricket infrastructure etc. Maybe some rich politician/corporate running things won’t get impacted. Skipping a tournament like this puts a big hole in anyone’s pocket. well if Bangladesh board feels that way, they better have a long term plan in place.

Now it's right decision , ICC already announced the judgment, now 24 hour for BCB to asked their extremist government to either Play in india or kick out out from the World T20

This is how a responsible governing body announced the judgement.

If you want to use a wrestling analogy, You are imagining a wwe style script here where Austin flips off the boss McMahon and he is running away. In reality McMahon is allowing Austin to flip him off for show . McMahon being BCCI here of course. Reality doesn’t work that way.

I don't watch wrestling enough to understand the analogy but I'm sure it makes sense.

Yes until Indians happy watching these rigged things then it won't make much difference.

I watched enough. There are more hardcore fans who will explain that to you better but I would say it is pretty self explanatory without the analogy too, but right now you are in cope stage , once things will sink in , it will make it very clear even for you , if you watch wwe or not lol.

No one asked you to watched these tournament. Lol

Why will indians stop watching cricket?

It's just funny that ICC mentions fans in its statement while not considering the safety of BD fans in India
