How should PCB react to Bangladesh's absence from the T20I World Cup 2026, following their refusal to play matches in India?

[globetrotter]

You are right about Fizz. My point is, Bangladesh ka rona excessive ho gaya.. aur abhi aur rona padega uske baad. Avoidable tha Bhaggu.

Offcource they were crying before ICC on the backing of Pakistan....but Pakistan as usual shown their back to BCB

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You are right about Fizz. My point is, Bangladesh ka rona excessive ho gaya.. aur abhi aur rona padega uske baad. Avoidable tha Bhaggu.

Chinku, Bangladesh felt unsafe about playing in India after Mustafizur Rahman's removal. There is no fixed timeline for a situation to go from safe to unsafe. So the real question is why was Fizz removed? Was it because of security concerns, or insecurity?

 

[sweep_shot]

İt's not about Bangladesh for Pakistan, it's about the rotten system and double standards of İCC and near complete control of it by BCCİ

Correct.

Cricket turned into a farce. Cricket now has a discriminatory caste-like system. It is about reversing that. It is not about any specific country.

 

[Rajdeep]

Seriously, how dumb can one be? People like you are questioning Bangladesh over security concerns while conveniently forgetting why Mustafizur Rahman was removed from the Indian Premier League. You only want to look at one side of the story.

Also, what's the timeline for security to suddenly go from safe to unsafe? If something serious happens just two days before a tournament and a country feels its players security is at risk, why can't they raise questions over the security? Do you guys think from your rear end or what?

Mustafizur was not removed due to security concerns. He was removed after BCCI faced backlash online, millions of hindus threatning to Boycott watching IPL etc. So BCCI asked KKR to remove him. I am sure Fizz would get paid his contract money behind the scenes.

Election was coming in Bangladesh. So they created this issue for votes. On the other hand, Pakistan, who was waiting for revenge since last year, saw this perfect opportunity to poke their nose.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

That is a report from RevSports which is an Indian youtube channel run by Boria Mazumdar. I am asking official statement from PCB, the same way you are asking from me.

Thing is, Geo News story about Pakistan cricket is worth much more than RevSports in India. So I have no reason to not trust that PCB did threaten to boycott.

Tu darr kyon raha hai? Pakistan khelega. Dont worry. Kachra bhi lagaan me khela tha..

Okay last line was bit of a joke but you got the gyst.

So wait, you wanted PCB to boycott the World Cup. When I asked on what basis they should do that, you claimed PCB said they would boycott if Bangladesh didn't get what they wanted. I then asked you to provide the official statement from PCB where they talked about a boycott. When you couldn't produce a link for your lie, you asked me to show proof that PCB denied it. When I shared that link, suddenly that report and article didn't matter anymore.

Bhai, kitna royega? It's your turn to provide the official statement from PCB. Come on, Raju, you can do it.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What loco-standi u have to Ask such question? KKR have every right to choose or kick out its player.

Tu jaake Raju ki maalish kar. Tere bas ki nahi. Chal nikal.

Its the discretion of KKR to remove any player from the team. KKR management is not answerable to anyone as it's their internal affair and no one have any right to interfere in the decision taken by KKR.

But why BCB suddenly raised team security issue after KKR dropped fizz.

Oh, so those Hindus would be fine if Mustafizur Rahman comes with the Bangladesh team? Then there would be no backlash and no boycott of watching the ICC Cricket World Cup?

Regarding election, even BJP does the same to fool the audience. Kuch naya bata.

Other boards are not interested in in Bangladesh Pakistan combined whining

What will you do? Boycott every one?

The difference is Fizzu was getting money despite Bangladeshi jihadi government killing Hindus.... and if he visited with team in India, India would have beaten very badly.... this is why BCB put security reason before ICC. On the contrary BCB saved its team from big embracement

 

[cricketjoshila]

Correct.

Cricket turned into a farce. Cricket now has a discriminatory caste-like system. It is about reversing that. It is not about any specific country.

Yes its discriminatory and no one wants to be part of the Bangladesh led circus but want to side with india, ask bcb to boycott all boards except pcb

 

[Rajdeep]

Bhai, kitna royega? It's your turn to provide the official statement from PCB. Come on, Raju, you can do it.

I didnt want anything. It was reported in Geo News by reputed journalists and discussed widely both in Pak media by ex cricketers and also here. So when ICC rejected BCBs demands, the natural question is what would PCB do now? Same thing is asked by everyone. Why you blaming me? Ask the question to likes of Rashid Latif, Sikku bhai, Kamran Akmal etc who is also asking PCB to boycott.

You got all defensive, perhaps due to humiliation of ICC board meeting and started asking silly question - show us official statement from PCB. I just said, the media house and journalists that have reported this news is very credible. They will not report fake stories to harm their own reputation and risking a law suit from PCB. The fact that PCB has never declined this news officially is a good enough proof that those news were credible. To counter this, you presented a news story done by RevSports which is run by Rohit Juglan and Boria saying see PCB has denied. Bhai official statement dikha na rejection ka...the same thing you are asking from me.

Okay lets assume, that RevSports report is right. Even then its not telling much isnt it? Ofcourse PCB will deny now since ICC rejected BCBs demands. However, no smoke without fire and PCB did try to test the water with those threats thiking ICC will get scared.

So what wrong we are saying? We know PCB will not boycott, like they didnt during Asia cup after demanding removal of Pycroft as match refree and locking its own team in dressing room. PCBs humiliations are one per quarter.

You want to know why BCB raised security concerns after Fizz was removed from the IPL? Then first answer the real question you are hiding behind the excuse of 'internal matter', why was Fizz removed in the first place? I know you are a chicken and you don't want to answer my questions, but you keep demanding answers to yours? Typical andhbhakht.

 

[Rajdeep]

Already answered bro. There is no aspect that I have not covered and no way you can corner this Raj. I am fully insured

No Hindus dont want Bangladesh team to come to India. Had they said BD will not travel India due to insult to Fizz, that would have been accepted by everyone. However, doing drama on security will not be allowed.

ICC world T20 is not Indian product like IPL. Most people would not even watch BD games but everyone follows KKR. So cannot allow a BD player in it.

 

[Rajdeep]

Are you going to hide behind 14 boards now?

No you called me dumb where as my IQ level is too high as everyone here knows it. However, 14 out of 15 boards except PCB has agreed with the stance I am taking and voted against BD. So were they dumb too?

Tsk Tsk..

You are literally confused soul and don't want to argue on points. Removal of Fizzu is decision taken by KKR.. you can't ask them why he wasnt6 removed at first place.

But real question is why banglades raised security concerns after Fizzu removal. BCB has shown bug eyes on the backing of PCB... and after BCB decided to boycot WC, PCB shown them back

Pakistan told not to play in T20 World Cup over Bangladesh saga: 'Opportunity to challenge existing cricket order'

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to boycott the upcoming T20 World Cup in India and stand in solidarity with Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) risks being booted out of the 20-team competition if it refuses to send its players to India due to security concerns. On Wednesday, the apex cricket body issued a statement, saying the original schedule will be upheld and that Bangladesh's demand to shift matches to Sri Lanka won't be accepted. The BCB was given 24 hours to speak to their government and take a final call on their participation.

The answer to your real question lies in the one I have asked, something you are clearly too scared to answer right now.

You are cleverly avoiding giving answer to my question .... why BCB suddenly raised security concern of Bangladesh team in India and after fizzy kicked out of KKR?

Sheikh Hasina is also a Bangladeshi national and she is very safe in India. This is why ICC not find any substance in BCB claim/contention of security concerns.

Sheikh Hasina is also a Bangladeshi national and she is very safe in India. This is why ICC not find any substance in BCB claim/contention of security concerns.

In fact, I should be the one saying this about you, because you were the one who quoted me asking why Pakistan isn't boycotting, when I was actually questioning whether Fizz's removal was due to security or insecurity. The best answer you came up with was that it was KKR's internal matter, while you were desperately looking for an answer to your own question about why BCB raised security concerns only after Fizz's removal. And Sheikh Haseena wasn't going to bat or ball for Bangladesh cricket team. Come up with something logical for once.

Pakistan rule out T20 World Cup boycott in Bangladesh solidarity: 'PCB has no grounds to do so' – Report​

Pakistan have reportedly clarified that they will not boycott the T20 World Cup even if Bangladesh opt to withdraw over security concerns​

Pakistan have put an end to speculation that they had halted preparations for the T20 World Cup and were considering a pull-out in solidarity with Bangladesh amid the latter’s standoff with the International Cricket Council (ICC).

According to a report by RevSportz, Pakistan have clarified that they will not boycott the tournament even if Bangladesh opt to withdraw over security concerns related to playing their group-stage matches in India.

A source close to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told the publication: “Nope, this is not the PCB’s stand.” The source explained that since Pakistan are scheduled to play all their matches in Sri Lanka as per the pre-tournament agreement finalised in early 2025, after India refused to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, there are no grounds for the PCB to withdraw from the World Cup.

This is their new coping mechanism. Since Bangladesh couldn't be bullied, they are now looking at the PCB to boycott it so they can claim at least a small victory. But the PCB has already denied such reports, and they are playing their matches in Sri Lanka anyway, so why would they boycott? lol.

Maybe you forgot that you wanted the PCB to boycott, I didn't. So it's on you to back it up and show where they actually said anything about boycotting. Acting dumb and innocent won't work here. PCB clearly denied the rumours and reports circulating in the media, and they explicitly stated that they had no grounds to boycott, especially after their matches were shifted to Sri Lanka. That position makes complete sense. Bangladesh, on the other hand, boycotted the World Cup after their security concerns. Just accept you are fighting a lost battle and acting like a 'khisyani billi, khamba noche'.
