Bangladesh refuses to travel to India for T20 World Cup 2026 (Update @ post#84)

After Pakistan, is BCCI now targeting Bangladesh cricketers for exclusion from IPL as well?

Where have they said they don't want to play in the T20?
They want it rescheduled. If it can’t be done they will have to make that call.

I don’t know if it’s worth re-scheduling for a team like Bangladesh or for the matter of fact anyone at this point. This is not some random family gathering. Re-arranging schedules this late in the game costs millions of dollars. I don’t know what ICC will do but I think it’s not worth it and if they feel that way Bangladesh would have to make that choice.
 
They title says refused to travel to India.

The world cup is happening in two countries.

My bad, I didn't know SL was co-hosting.

Schedule is already set and logistics in place. So what does Bang expect the ICC to do now ?

We will have to see what ICC says. Unfortunately this is not only a commercial decision but to do with safety. ICC has set precedents before in this regard and can't say they won't follow those precedents because it isn't worth it financially.

A team switch wouldn't be the end of the world and would have minimal disruption. ICC can give the team that switched with Bangladesh opportunity to reselect their squad if needed.

Bangladesh is unlikely to qualify for knockouts anyway so it won't make an impact on where semis or final is held.

Yes it is really unsafe for Bangladesh in India as well as in Srilanka where our RAW Dhurandhars are roaming around for them. They should be asked to stay home. Same page there. Money is not everything but it is a very important factor when millions are involved, it’s easy to write it off as an arm chair expert.

The tournament has less than a month left to start. It is too late to change the venues. Why didnt BCB complained before if they have any genuine grievances of playing in India? They were fine until yesterday and only doing this drama today because KKR team has refused to pick Mustafizur in IPL. This is childish and silly as ICC events has nothing to do with IPL.

you are making light of a serious situation just because you have a dislike for Bangladesh.


They haven't asked for much nor done anything wrong here.
 
What we saw in Venezuela yesterday shows that power is might. In the world of cricket, the BCCI is to the sport what the USA is to global politics.

If anything, the BCCI demonstrates much more maturity and restraint. When Moshin Naqvi ran away with the Asia Cup trophy, the BCCI followed protocol and lodged only a formal complaint with the ICC. No impeachment, nothing.

In reality, if the BCCI wanted, it could flex its muscles and disrupt world cricket to the point where smaller boards would struggle to survive. Even Ramiz Raja admitted that the BCCI indirectly runs Pakistan cricket.

The problem is that some boards have started taking the BCCI’s silence and humility for granted.
You also underestimate the might of smaller countries with just little bit of backbone. What did USA do in Vietnam?

That can go both ways, can't it ?

Bangladesh govt doesn't like current Indian govt for recent political shenanigans and is likely throwing a tantrum rather than any actual risk to player safety existing.

No KKR never refused. GOI refused and requested KKR to make adjustments.


Security issues are fluid. If you are going to play this "why didnt" game then we can reasonably ask why didn't BCCI stop Bangladeshis from participating in IPL auction, Why didn't they stop 3 IPL franchises from attemtping to buy mustafizur, etc etc india has been mentioning treatment of Hindus in Bangladesh for a long time but this move was only made yesterday.

This kind of assessment should be made a long time back. Pak was clear on their stance way ahead of time and it was accommodated. 0 issues there. western teams usually send security folks ahead of time to assess situation. If they feel unsafe at the last minute they just won’t come and forefit like Aus-WI in 1996 or Eng-Nzl in 2003 or when Eng-Nzl teams ran away from Pak a couple of years back . No issues there. All fair.

Spending millions for anyone leave alone Bangladesh this late is not worth it. It’s even more ridiculous because it’s a minnow like Bangladesh team.

People took a huge financial hit when weddings were cancelled or rescheduled during covid and here we are talking about a World Cup tournament.

You are using your emotions and love for anything Indian instead of common sense here.

As I posted earlier oin the thread. A BJP spokesman mentioned that Mustafizur being banned was a big victory for all Hindus and Sanatanis. Multiple high-level Indian sources have mentioned that they cannot allow him to play IPL due to deterioration of ties.

Isn't it then sensible for the Bangladeshi government to think a team of Bangladeshis entering India would be at risk?

Honestly, they haven;t done anything wrong but are getting flack for taking care of themselves and their players.

Team can pull out at any time. Kiwis pulled out of Pakistan. England once pulled out from Mumbai. Players left during IPL during recent Indo-Pak conflict etc

Is there a timeline for how close to a match players can feel unsafe?

And anyway lets assume your stance is fine - why is Mustafizur a problem but 25 Bangladeshis playing in India are not a problem. Isn;t this a bit hypocritical?

We are all speculating who is being cynical here - BCB or BCCI.

Let us see what mob boss Jay Shah does.

A sitting minister and that too I think important portfolio like interior minister in Pak government called Pak winning over India in a random round robin match as a win of Muslims over Kafirs.

I won’t go into statements of cricketers here as we are talking apples to apples.

The boys just sucked it up and smacked Pak team the next few times they met them. You don’t want to open that Pandora’s box.

Now before you ask me “who said it”? Google is your friend. Hint- it was Imran Khan’s liberal and secular government at that time too.
 
Expected call. Now ball is in ICC's court. I don't think any of these countries in South Asia has the right to host anymore ICC events.
 
Not a great look for India this.

If matches moved out, ECB will be really peeved off having to do the unnecessary travel to Sri Lanka and possibly again for a semi or final against Pakistan.

Don’t worry, Pakistan aint qualifying.

There is no security concern of either Pakistan or Bangladeshi players in India. That is why Pakistan had no issues touring for 2023 WC under the illusion that India will also tour in 2025 CT. When India refused to travel Pakistan in 2025 only then they adopted this *** for tat approach. Same is with Bangladesh. Up until yesterday they never had any security concerns but suddenly when KKR dropped Mustrafizur there is a security issue in India. It is funny how they think others are fool.

When Mustafizur was picked for IPL, incident of Dipu Das and other killings didn't happen. There is understandably an anger among Hindus in India and its only fair IPL governing body respect that sentiment and dont allow BD players to earn money from India. However, ICC events are different thing.

Either BD plays their matches as scheduled or they have to sit out of the tournament. Zero compromise.

Yes but Bangladesh has little backbone to stand. Have you ever condemned killing of Hindus in your home country? Or the hollow threats they were giving to India? With what face you want your players to play in IPL? Thora Sharam Karlo

IPL should be least of your worry. Wait before Adani pulls out the power supply from Bangladesh. This is what happens when you take panga with big boys.

Yes Bangladesh can pull out too. That’s what I am also saying.


Also you seem to be missing the point, no one is desperate for Bangladesh and their superstars to travel to India. It’s not like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma in Lahore or Dhaka. We are saying come to play as per schedule or buzz off.

As far as picking and dropping Fizz goes, yes I don’t agree with it but I never agreed with picking him in the first place either so
there is that.
 
Bangladesh in t20s is at the same level as Italy, Nepal etc.
Icc is not gonna do anything, BCB is wither gonna retract it or regret it.
 
Minnow Pakistan played 6 t20 wc semifinals while superpower India played 5........ this sum up your cricketing knowledge by putting Pakistan and Bangladesh in same sentence....
ICC trophy won by india= 7 ( second behind Australia) . In next 2 month there will be 8th ICC trophy for india.
ICC trophy won by minnow pakistan= 3

ACC trophy won by india = 9.

Minnows pakistan= 2

Now go and hide in bunker.

:klopp :kp

If he made that statement after removing Indian players from Pakistan it would be relevant to the topic - security.

I am not sure what you guys gain so much from this. Are you happy at the removal of Mustafizur? If so why are you so desperate for Bangladesh to tour India?

How is Bangladesh on the same level as Nepal and Italy? What’s next? China as a country is on the same level as Ghana because Indians believe so 🤡

On what basis what Mustafizur refused then?
 
Bangladesh should ditch India everywhere. Do not go to India. Do not buy Indian products. Do not watch Indian TV shows. Do not allow any sanghi agent in Bangladesh. :inti
 
On what basis what Mustafizur refused then?
Keeping the sentiment of Hindus of India in mind who raised their voices in social media for what is happening with their brothers in Bangladesh.

Again - will Pakistan allow an Israeli player to play in Pakistan? They couldnt even tolerate McCabe fans in Birmingham.

1st q- yes

2nd q- I am not sure you are understanding anything I am trying to say. No one is desperate for them to tour. It’s a world tournament and there is a schedule. It is what it is, Bangladesh are free to adhere to it and come and play the tourney, if they don’t want to, we understand. No problem. Not a single penny should be spent on rescheduling anything. What is it that I am missing to convey here? 🤔

This is not how world tournanents work sorry. They have qualified for the tournament as per ICC criteria, and have every right that their safety is ensured, they aren't coming because India has extended an invitation for a gathering.

Sure but why raise the security concern now? Just a month before the tournament starts.

Had they said at the onset to keep their matches in Srilanka when schedules were made, no issues from anyone.

Correct. Now let’s apply this principle to Aus and WI in 1996, both teams qualified for the tourney, SL didn’t do them a favor by inviting them for a party/gathering, they refused, forfeited the game and moved on. India and Pak were the co-hosts that time, no rescheduling or accommodation done. All worked out.

Same thing here. I respect their decision to not travel to India so there ends the matter. Italy, Nepal etc can have the points. Might be refreshing to see a new team evolve too instead of stale hopeless team. Win-win.

It is related to the question I asked you, why BCCI intervene for Mustafizur now. Why did they not say when auction was raised?

You want India to be able to make decisions in realtime but others to give you advance notice?

They arent taking any panga. They are trying to become independent. Whatever assault you are hearing on minorities is same as saying Team should pull out of IND due to it's assault on women. Or teams shouldnt travel to USA for the WC due its discrimination against minorities or Mexico for its drug wars.
 
Just to remind everyone, Bangladesh will play:

On 7th Feb vs West Indies in Kolkata
On 9th Feb vs Italy in Kolkata
On 14th Feb vs England in Kolkata
On 17th Feb vs Nepal in Mumbai


I can only imagine the crowd reactions. Hope BCCI dont change these venues either and move it to other parts of India

:dw :kp

That is a decision for ICC and Bangladesh have presented their case to ICC.

I am sure when India refused to go to Pakistan you didn't cite 1996 world cup and happy for India to drop points did you?

Based on more recent precedent ICC cannot really make an argument against Bangladesh. No need to go back to 1996.

As I said your stance before is really just coming from anti-bangladesh sentiment rather than anything else.
 
I think Pak and BD need to listen to this advice and remove themselves from future Asia cups or ICC events hosted by India.


:kp
I think Indians should listen to their movies and anchors first

Boycott Pakistan. They don’t like your existence. They want you wiped out for the face of the earth

So practice what you preach first.

If Bangladesh board had a problem with India, they shouldn’t have accepted the logistics/schedule in the first place when it was released .

India was crystal clear always ahead of time about traveling to Pak so things are sorted out ahead of time. Pak used this logic to get a hybrid model for themselves. Not a single Indian said it was unfair. I mean even if someone did they were not being serious.

This schedule was released way ahead of time. If matters escalated in a few days and things are really bad in India, then it’s a different matter and the tournament will be moved out. This is a last minute personal issue for Bangladesh so they can make a call to make it to India or not.

You are comparing 2 different things here.

I am sorry but your team either has to travel to India or forefit. Personally I am cheering for forefit as that is good for Bangladesh in the long run. You are being more optimistic at this point than rational lol.

To be fair to Raju, he tried launching a boycott march before the Asia Cup, and it completely backfired, leaving him with a pie on his face. :kp :inti @Rajdeep
 
Fizz was heavily undervalued all these years going for like mere 1 CR at every auction. This year as soon as the price sky rocketed kisi ka nazar laag gaya lol.
Fizz got so much love from India couple of season ago playing for CSK. MS Dhoni even met his entire family for dinner etc. Bangladesh used to be such a friendly nation to us. However, the hooligans and extremists in your country destroyed everything.

I have no problem with him as a person. One of the nicer guys from Bangladesh unit. Too bad it happened to him at the wors tpossible time. I think Sharukh may compensate him for the same amount under the table. After all it is not his fault.

Hey @Rajdeep how about this guy replacing Fizz 👆. Now I am scared we will have a flop tournament. In bhendi bazaar you will see his ilk waiting for labor jobs kind of like Mexicans in UsA 😂. Use your contacts with Mamata Didi and get this guy in for damage control . SRK/ Mamata didi kaagaz bhi bana denge is keliye 🤣🤣😍

Aww, seems like my post in the other thread landed right on target. Still trembling? :yk :inti
 
Last time I checked PSL banned Afghan players 🤷‍♂️
Afghanistan cricket board directly called Pakistan a state that is sponsoring terrorism. Afghan players removed their association with PSL on social media.

When the cricket body and the cricketers are directly going against your country; banning them is only a reactionary step.

So, it’s an apples to oranges comparison.

Yes, absolutely. I get chills like some cockroach/spider is crawling over me when I interact with you, that’s why I max avoid as much as possible but you do have a talent of reeling people back in 😭. Will give you that. I have told you this before also I think. take it as a medal as there isn’t much else going on I am sure 🤣
 
How is this demand not logical?

There is a strong anti-Bangladesh sentiment in India.

They have refused to include a Bangladeshi players in their domestic tournament - obviously due to security concerns.

Why would you then send the entire Bangladesh team to play there?

Doesn’t matter how big or small a team BD is - the demand is just and should be accommodated.

You are still trembling, lol. Type slowly, you are making too many mistakes. You avoid me because every time we interact, you get your tashreef handed to you on a platter, just like the guy you were tagging above. Get your kaagaz ready, cowboy. You are not needed there. Aaja munna. :yk :inti

Just as the Indian team has the right to refuse touring Pakistan despite security guarantees from the Pakistan Cricket Board, Bangladesh also has the right to say no to India. :inti
 
Just look at the behaviour of Bangladesh and Bangladeshis including their Government and the hate and venom they have been spewing against India lately. Why should any Bangladeshi player be allowed to play in the IPL under those circumstances?

They still have their blood brother Pakistan. They can play in the PSL which is supposedly of higher cricketing quality than IPL, despite not boasting of the same financial strength.​
Indians are the most humble, polite, soft spoken , learned, free minded ,cultural , nonbiased religious, friendly people one can ever find in the whole universe.
 
They arent taking any panga. They are trying to become independent. Whatever assault you are hearing on minorities is same as saying Team should pull out of IND due to it's assault on women.

How is Bangladesh trying to become independent by talking about breaking North east Indian states and make greater Bangladesh?

They could say the same if empty talk is all you have. What exactly is Akhand Bharat? And how many countries are supposed to break away and join it? Shouldn't they be offended too, just like you are getting offended by nothing more than hollow talk? :inti

India’s security concerns are genuine or at least they seem that way because the BCCI’s stance has remained consistent since 2008 and has not changed.

By contrast, Pakistan and Bangladesh’s security concerns are full of ambiguity. The PCB was happy to send its team to the 2023 World Cup, and they were also willing to send their team for WT20 2026, as long as India was willing to travel to Pakistan. Bangladesh had no security concerns until last night, but suddenly there are issues now that Mustafizur has been dropped from the IPL.

Security concerns are supposed to be genuine threats, not conditional. That’s why no one takes Pakistan or Bangladesh’s claims seriously. They should simply say, openly, that they won’t travel to India because of issues like India not sending their team to Pakistan or not picking their players in the IPL. At least that would be an honest admission and would carry some merit.

Who said I am offended? I was responding to that poster who said Bangladesh is only trying to become independent. No that is not the case. There are lots of provocative statement came from Bangladesh surrounding Indian territories. Even Yunus visited China and talked about Arunachal Pradesh for which Modi schooled him later. So this 'Bangladesh is only looking for independence' drama does not work.
 
I thank BCB for showing spine at the right time. Actually Bangladeshi players will never feel comfortable playing in India under these circumstances. They are not safe to travel at all. All the Bangladeshis should refrain themselves from travelling to India unless tension settles down between these two countries. India has become a lonely nation in the subcontinent because of some Hindu religious parties which are lunatics , fanatics and terrorists.
