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.

 

[globetrotter]

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.

Are 14 boards who voted against Bangladesh, dumb too?

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.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

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]

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.

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.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

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.

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]

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?

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'.

Where and when did PCB denied the rumours and especially stated they have no ground to boycott. Can you pls show any official statement from PCB pls. You are sharing an article reported by Hindustan times saying 'reportedly clarified'. That is not good enough proof.

If PCB really clarified, why everyday Pak media asking PCB to stick to its stance and boycott. What stance was that? I just watched a debate today in Geo news where all panelists are asking to boycott. So if all of them are clearly lying, why is PCB not releasing a simple press release or a tweet from its official handle. That is easy thing to do na?

So you want the PCB to boycott, and when I ask on what basis, you claim they were talking about a boycott. Naturally, I then asked where they actually said that. Now that you have no answer, you have shifted the goalposts and are asking where they denied it. When I shared the article, you suddenly called it insufficient and 'not official', while your imaginary, made-up narrative insists that PCB said they would boycott if Bangladesh did.

Do you see how stupid you are looking here, lol? Deliberately acting like a fool won't get you out of this. Anyway, this thread isn't about Operation Sindoor but I will give you an example here. This same media claimed that India lost 7 jets during operation sindoor, but our government didn't deny it or didn't release a simple press release, wasn't that easy to do as well? Just using your logic.

However, the question still remains the same. Since you wanted PCB to boycott, you should be the one giving a statement to back it up rather than cross questioning and running away from it. If you show that statement I will also criticise PCB for not boycotting after talking big, just like you didn't boycott El Clasico matches after talking big here.

I didnt wanted PCB to boycott. Let me explain, for the 10th time

There were reports done by Geo News (link shared with you multiple times) where they have said PCB has asked its players to stop practicing and has threatened ICC that they will boycott if decision dnt go favour of BCB. None of this is my words but actually reported in one of the most reputed news agencies of Pakistan. This news has been confirmed by elite journalists like Hamid Mir and that Hashmi guy (forgot his first name). This news has also been given green light by every Pak ex cricketer like Basit Ali, Rashid Latif, Kamran Akmal, Dr Nauman everyone. So I am kind of apalled that you are blaming me asking PCB to boycott. All I have done is repeating what Pakistanis themselves are saying.

Now when BCB actually didnt get desired result from ICC, a very natural question would be 'Will PCB boycott'? Thats what I asked and that is the preamble of this thread. Basically the same question that Pak media and ex cricketers are asking.

Your issue is not the boycott call but how an Indian is asking this question. So you got touchie and started asking silly things like show official statement from PCB. No one will give any official statement on such a stunt. Do you think PCB will do a press release and say we will boycott even before ICC made any decision about BCB? So these things happen exactly how it happened here - via media leak. And if Geo News and all those journalists are really lying here and PCB never said any such things, then:

A. That has to be rarest of rare case.

B. PCB will not stay quiet and do some press release confirming their stance.

C. PCB will file a law suit against Geo News and these cricketers for spreading lies.

Like even today they were discussing in their program if PCB will stay intact in their stance. Infact, one reputed journalist even said that PCB is preparing for its move and waiting for an official statement from ICC. Thats why they are not announcing the team.

So in all these, none of it is my personal view or opinion. I am just saying as reading in media and watching news.

That is why I asked, is there any official statement...anywhere from any ex cricketer, Pak media where they have said this news to be false? If yes, pls do share and I would like to read. The only document you shared is 5 days ago when a youtube channel from India named RevSports did a story stating reportedly PCB has denied. That is not good enough and not even covered in any Pak media circles.

So I again ask, if not official statement, atleast share some credible news from Pakistan where it states PCB has denied any boycott. Because I am listening all contrary news in their media.

Rajdeep.

Now when BCB actually didnt get desired result from ICC, a very natural question would be 'Will PCB boycott'? Thats what I asked and that is the preamble of this thread. Basically the same question that Pak media and ex cricketers are asking.

Your issue is not the boycott call but how an Indian is asking this question. So you got touchie and started asking silly things like show official statement from PCB. No one will give any official statement on such a stunt. Do you think PCB will do a press release and say we will boycott even before ICC made any decision about BCB? So these things happen exactly how it happened here - via media leak. And if Geo News and all those journalists are really lying here and PCB never said any such things, then -

A. That has to be rarest of rare case.

B. PCB will not stay quiet and do some press release confirming their stance.

C. PCB will file a law suit against Geo News and these cricketers for spreading lies.

Like even today they were discussing in their program if PCB will stay intact in their stance. Infact, one reputed journalist even said that PCB is preparing for its move and waiting for an official statement from ICC. Thats why they are not announcing the team.

So in all these, none of it is my personal view or opinion. I am just saying as reading in media and watching news.

That is why I asked, is there any official statement...anywhere from any ex cricketer, Pak media where they have said this news to be false? If yes, pls do share and I would like to read. The only document you shared is 5 days ago when a youtube channel from India named RevSports did a story stating reportedly PCB has denied. That is not good enough and not even covered in any Pak media circles.

So I again ask, if not official statement, atleast share some credible news from Pakistan where it states PCB has denied any boycott. Because I am listening all contrary news in their media.

Rajdeep.

Lol, classic coping mechanism and goalpost shifting. You claim you didn't want the Pakistan Cricket Board to boycott, yet you have been the one crying since yesterday and demanding exactly that. On what basis? Did you even look at any official statements from PCB before making that demand? Those Geo reports, which weren't official to begin with, were already denied in post #29. So yes, we are back to the same question again. No matter how hard you try, you have to prove it one way or the other. Phas gaya Raju phir se.

Troll? And who the hell are you? When something goes over your head, it's better not to stick your useless nose into it. Before calling me a troll, how about you take over from @Rajdeep and actually discuss this? Let's see what you come up with here?

Ab woh mera shikaar hai. Tu araam kar.

 

[Rajdeep]

@Rajdeep have you watched a viral clip of our dhurandhar aka front foot journalist? He roasted Pakistan very badly on this issue.

Latif was crying over that clips in his video. Maja aa gya bhai

Not yet seen bro. On my way home from office. Ghar jaake maaze lunga. The fact that India also won today and ICC also humiliated BCB, meltdown dekhne me mazaa aayega. You can already see meltdown here

PCB hold all the cards there.

[Mainul]

Y will other boards become part of your circus?

Do something yourself instead of begging others

Ya we have done our part single handedly without help of others. But things won't change unless others come forward against Indian corruption.

But I assume if Bangladesh cricket board can stick to their policy here and not bow down to Indian cricket council soon other boards will join our party.

 

[Mainul]

Again you are asking the same 'silly' question on which we discussed last evening.

Pakistan didnt stood for any justice...LMAO. They just wanted to disrupt the plan for India holding an ICC event and was waiting for an opportunity since last years Champions trophy. Ask them to stand for justice now and boycott this WT20 as well as they threatened.

Had ICC accepted Bangladesh's absurd demands, it would have been a norm in future. Tomorrow some other board will ask for hybrid arrangements. So this has to stop somewhere and board members are right in rejecting BCBs demands.

ICC is correct here. The biggest blame goes to PCB who duped BCB with 'aage baro hum tumhare saath hai' slogans and now ran away Bangladesh ko chorke.

Why are you intentionally avoiding that hybrid model was started on absurd demand of India?

 

[Hitman]

Next time you don't want to visit India in an ICC tournament due to security concerns, let the ICC know your concerns 6 months before the tournament. That's what the BCCI did with regards to the last CT in Pakistan.​

Funniest bit is some Pakistani posters were expecting Australia and England to side with Bangladesh and them, when every single board apart from them later voted in favor of the BCCI. ​

Even the Sri Lankan board voted against BCB. They don't want the Bangladeshi team to set foot on Srilankan soil.

PCB - do bro
BCB - we did it bro
PCB - who's "we"

Australia and Eng, the same boards who treat BCB like a dirt and an outcast? lol. When was the last time Bangladesh was invited for a series in Aus? yes, more than 20 years back. One taste of Bangladesh was enough for them to avoid them for a life time. At least do they tour them? no the last time Aus toured BD for a test series was close to a decade back. What about ENg, the so called home of cricket. yes again almost 15 years since they invited BD for any series there. When was the last time ENG toured BD for a test series, again around a decade back..

As far as Eng and Aus is considered, BD is a irrelevant nation who is not even worthy of a quick off season series thrown at them. Aus even invited Zim for a white ball tour and have not cared for BD. Worshiping their old colonial masters will not take BCB anywhere. They need to grow a pair and actually perform and create a cricketing legacy. Pakistan gets the respect as they have something to show. BD have a big fat zero as achievement in pretty much any field on world forum. They are the most arrogant, petty, loud shouters anywhere.

You are literally hoping that others will fight for you, they are not interested in your party, that showed in the vote, Bangladesh’s problem isn’t everyone else’s problem


You have single handedly got yourself kicked out out of the world cup, congratulations on that achievement

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Bangladesh scored a self goal, thats where this ends.

Now they have deserted themselves from India, the only top 3 cricket country that actually plays with them.

Its so idiotic that posters here are arguing over it while BCB officials must be getting anxiety attacks over how to plan Bangladesh cricket for the road ahead.

Win win for India.

Do you think BCCI will even bother to further play bilateral series with them after this?

How could we raise the concern 6 months ago ? BCCI pulled Mustafiz, our premium and main t20i bowler , out of IPL due to security threats ,not 6 months ago, just on 3rd January.

 

[Rana]

Absolute rubbish from ICC and BCCI

Bangladesh should play the World Cup! Move their matches to Sri Lanka!

BCCI is responsible for all these after they literally threw out our main t20i bowler out of IPL for security threats, just one month before the world cup. We had no more choice .

 

[cricketjoshila]

Bilateral series? Forget about it, bcb should worry if BCCI will agree to co host the 2031 wc with them and if it goes to vote in icc, we know the result

 

[Ball Blazer]

Agree. We have seen multiple instances where matches of some teams were moved to other nations due to their insecurities/ feud with host nations.

That's the part they are not getting. The situation can worsen at any time, and there is no fixed timeline for security to shift from safe to unsafe.

 

[Rajdeep]

How could we raise the concern 6 months ago ? BCCI pulled Mustafiz, our premium and main t20i bowler , out of IPL due to security threats ,not 6 months ago, just on 3rd January.

I sometimes wonder if Pak and BD posters here really dont know to read or intentionally act ignorant. For the umpteenth time, Mustafizur's removal from IPL has nothing to do with security. No where did BCCI mentioned they are removing him as they cant provide security. He is removed for the reason well known to you.

Pak team toured India during WC2023 and enjoyed the biryani here. So you think India cant provide security to their players in IPL? So, similar to Mustafizur, Pak players are also banned from IPL not due to security but reason again well known to you.

That is why I said from first day, had BCB openly said BD team felt insulted the way BCCI removed Fizz, had a secret call with BCCI asking them to shift their games to SL....that would have been much respectful. Even we Indians would have supported it because honestly we dont want BD team in India either. However, when you throw tantrum in open theatre and shout security security, people will call out that lie.

Except that nowhere did BCCI mention that he was removed due to security issue.

Very sad news. Scotland replace Bangladesh in the T20i world cup


Well done Jay Shah for ruining this beautiful sport!

Pcb is all mouth how many times have we threatened to boycott and never followed pcb is only interested in stirring things up they will never boycott in support of Bangladesh

IMO the PCB should not have interfered in the first place. Was no need to make that stupid boycott threat. They’ve done enough damage to BCCI by forcing them into co-host mode and I recon this will be the model forever now (past the 3 year agreement).

This (Bangladesh saga) was not their fight.

 

[Hikaru]

If not a boycott, Pakistan should play the tournament with black armband mourning the departure of Bangla Tigers.
