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

[Robbie]

Debating with sanghis is a massive waste of time because they are misinformed, childish, and dishonest.

I think Bangladesh have a good case for CAS. There was a clear discrimination.

Even if BD don't win, they should ensure it causes maximum nuisance for BCCICC.

Dont cry brother.. things will be easier down the line

 

[Major]

It’s basic knowledge, typical Indian diversion and denial .

They will bang on about something , once refuted or exposed , will start some other nonsense .

Bottom line is CAS will decide if ICC were wrong. It could take months , the posts on this thread will reach India’s population

Funny thing is, than after 2 -3 years they end up admitting and start hanging on to something else.

Look at the Bangladesh issue just recently or when Pakistan made India as host to play in Sri Lanka.

 

[Local.Dada]

Court of Arbitration of sports- hearing such an institution exists for the first time. When did this become more powerful than UN/ Gaza Board of Peace etc

Only thing they will provide in this matter is

 

[rpant_gabba]

lol decision made, case closed but couple of folks are still squirming and trying to “convince” Indians on here

Flash news my deadly bros- all over, finis, Scotland is in.

Now all eyes on PCB

Source? I don't see any information.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

CAS is independent until it rules in favor of India.

Then it would be discarded also.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Yeah, I will pay attention once Bangladesh wins it.
Until then its just much ado about nothing.

 

[Local.Dada]

Source? I don't see any information.

I saw updates from quite a few legit journalists that official news is about to be published. Unless there is some last minute back channel talks, I think it’s pretty much set in stone at this point.

Bangladesh should look to cause maximum nuisance for BCCICC.

Take it to CAS. I think they have a good case.

Even if they don't win, give BCCICC a hard time.

@Rajdeep Did you find the official statement from PCB?

 

[BDfanforever]

On the bright side, both ENG and WI will now have easier time progressing to next round, and they can challenge other teams especially IND better.

 

[Champ_Pal]

The only question is, will Pakistan show solidarity with its new little brother and pass on the tournament?

Pakistan should stand with BD against the BCCI thuggery. Do it Pakistan do it!!

This is what happens when you only watch cricket and no other sport or understand history of sports.

And this is a common issue with indians, so no surprise.

Anyone who has wacthed olympics and have watching sporting documentaries on different athletes like Ben Johnson, Wayne Gretzky, or even followed other sports would know what CAS is

Pakistan will never do that.. they are not a stupid board and know which side of their bread is buttered.

 

[SportsWarrior]

As per cricbuzz, Bcb was very angry with Bcci .Reason is that Bcci haven't followed it up with Bcb to check their concerns .So bcb wasn't expecting to drop out at first but to make bcci crumble .

If only ego and delusion have olympics will win it everytime.

what has BCCI got to do with this? its an ICC tournament and not a bilateral or a domestic tournament. BCCI will sit on the side and let ICC handle it. It is ICCs job to finalize who will participate in the tournament and it is BCCI job to host them. who comes and not comes is not BCCI's worry

 

[SportsWarrior]

Good thing is all of our mediocre players won't get paid eventhough current T20 team is better than past ones. Honestly who wants to watch these guys fail to chase 120 runs or so.

irrespective of the results, BD is the most unwatchable team ever. even most associate teams bring in lots of passion to the game and BD players look as if they are dead inside.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Bangladesh cricket team is livid, according to CricBuzz

https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/137400/left-helpless-bangladesh-players-watch-a-world-cup-dream-slip-away

lol what planning? it is always a paid holiday for BD team. Some times it is in USA and west indies and some other time australia. When do they even make a different in an ICC tournament. All other teams must be livid that they are losing easy two points.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Bangladesh have made complete phools of themselves.

The tiny bengalis can sit at home on their couch and watch the WC. The Scots are raring to go.

its okay. even their players are used to watching most of the tournament from their couches anyway

 

[SportsWarrior]

lol PCB will do absolutely nothing. They just put up BCB to this so that they can see what kind of repercussions are there for such an act. BD thought they were too smart but were played smartly by PCB. good on them..

Dont cry brother.. things will be easier down the line

they are BD fans. things never going t get better for the fans of that pathetic team unless they give up their pride and actually find good players.

For these Canadian and American paperless cabbies, CAS apparently stands for 'Court of Amit Shah'.

lol this is the same court against which PCB's stand was that CAS has no jurisdiction over individual board's action unless they want to voluntarily come under it. ICC not under it, neither is BCCI. Even if they were, they cannot do anything as they cannot override anyone. They are useless unless the boards and ICC voluntarily come under them and even then they are not an executive body.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Yeah, I will pay attention once Bangladesh wins it.
Until then its just much ado about nothing.

but they are great entertainers. Most clowns in a circus are fun, they always make fool of themselves and ensure others laugh at their cost. This is what BD brings to an ICC tournament since they cannot bring skills and ability to play high quality cricket. Every hit movie has a good side comedy track, BD is that.

they don't have to look to do anything. Just their existence is a nuisance . This is BD after all, the great comedic sideshow of every great tournament.

tigers and their fans are in realty scaredy cats and are now hiding under the furniture. they will come out to meow, sorry "roar", next time their team wins against an associate team.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Did SrK sack him voluntarily or was he asked to remove?

I like how this is all being pinned on him

His advisors can tell you that mail him

 

[DeadlyVenom]

His advisors can tell you that mail him

Is his advisors BCCI or GOI? Why are they selecting teams in private league?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Funny thing in this situation is that despite Indians claiming Bangladesh are whining and pleasing, they are just asking ICC around their decision for world cup, not pleading to set foot in India. So far that hasn't even been a consideration for them. Not sure why neighbours are taking it so personally.

 

[BDfanforever]

Speaking of SRK, I just realized he copied a lot of Mr. Bean expressions during his earlier days lol.

 

[Snowflake]

Bcb request for venue change would have been accepted if they would have requested it before the ticket distribution and logistic contracts finalisation.
If you had arranged even a minor event you would have known the difficulty if even a minor change of plans were to happen for a mega event.
This is idiocity at its best by BCB.

CT25 venue change happened 6 months before the itinerary scheduling. There is a huge difference between BCCI and BCB.
Pakistan is playing all their games in Sri Lanka because it was notified by pcb in advance not because PCB is superpowaaa.
Atleast u can see the difference

Though the ICC never gave timing as the reason for rejecting BD’s request.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Though the ICC never gave timing as the reason for rejecting BD’s request.

It's coz timing is only an Indian argument. Does it have any real world bearing on security threats?

But I should caveat I may not have same experience in event management ( whether major or minor) that @Robbie does so will defer to his experience on this issue.

Correct.

Bangladesh just do not want to play in India. Simple. Not sure why it is making the sanghi burn.

 

[Hitman]

Bangladesh's hopes of earning some sort of reprieve from the Dispute Resolution Committee have been dashed, as it has been made clear to the BCB that the DRC cannot interfere with mandates made by the ICC Board of Directors. A revelation that spells the end of this chapter which has played out over the week means Scotland are prepared on standby, and are expected to be confirmed as the replacement team by Saturday.

Bcb thought bcci would beg for mercy. Then bcb can force fizz in to ipl again as a slap. bcb foolishly miscalculated it and did ultimate screwjack stuff for bng elections as a face saver.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Participation fees is not just the only money BD wil lose. That is half a million USD. In addition to that thereis an estimated 27 millon USD for Bangladesh. They are digging their own grave.

Easy for Bangladeshi keyboard warriors to support BCB pulling out of the tournament because they have no skin in the game. It's people who actually run the game who know the ground realities and the consequences of pulling out.​

 

[emranabbas]

No they never

What BCB basically thought was this, if India are going to treat our players badly and kick them out of india, then we’ll stand by our players and we won’t go and play in India either. At that point it’s not just cricket it becomes about national self-respect.

Obviously Indians won't know this since the whole country don’t have any self respect

One minute;
we won't play Pakistan they killed people in Pahalgam and mumbai just for those victims we won't play pakistan

Next minute:
Please pakistan play cricket with us we beg you without pakistan vs india game broadcasters will lose money but we won't play in india or pakistan we will play in dubai so it don’t hurt the sentiments of Mumbai and Pahalgam victims and also we won't shake hands.

Dramaybaazi of BCCI and GOI

Yup; If one of our top players is not welcome in India even though he is completely non political, then India isnt a welcome place for our national team.

I mention the political bit, because if a BD player made statements against India/Indians, then there could be some justification for releasing him from an IPL team.

 

[tiger_khan]

I used to make fun of Indiots' wailing

But it has reached to a phase, where I have started to feel sorry for them

Is it possible for the BCB to reverse their decision and agree to play in India?


It will be a very humane thing to do

Please have some sympathy for our neighbors. Everlasting wailing is injurious to health


Alternatively, our Indian friends can use their energy more productively. Soon you will be having a phenomenal Scottish team to host. You can start discussing the unparalleled profiles of Scottish cricketers

Or plan a family event at the Calcutta stadium for the Italy vs Scotland game. Worry not. There will be a lot of space in the spectators area of the stadium for your family to enjoy. You can actually have your own family cricket game there. There will be so much empty space in the area.

So be positive

So Scotland in or not?

Jay Shah Planning Strict Action Against Bangladesh Over T20 World Cup Withdrawal: Report​

The International Cricket Council Chairman Jay Shah will contemplate strict action against Bangladesh if they do not agree to tour India for the upcoming Men's T20 World Cup 2026, ICC sources said on Friday. The sources said the ICC Chairman is in Dubai for the final call on the issue. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had earlier requested that the ICC shift their ICC T20 World Cup matches outside India to Sri Lanka, citing "security and safety concerns" for its players.

There has been some strain in India's ties with Bangladesh over rising incidents of crimes against minorities in the country. Last year, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had asked Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to release pacer Mustafizur Rahman from their Indian Premier League 2026 squad amid growing demands in India, following atrocities against minorities in Bangladesh.

It is after Mustafizur's removal from the IPL that BCB started expressing concerns about the safety and security of the Bangladesh contingent as the reason for not travelling to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup.

ICC on Wednesday rejected the BCB's request to move their matches out of India for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Independent risk assessments, carried out by internationally recognised security experts, do not conclude that Bangladesh cannot play its scheduled T20 World Cup matches in India, ICC sources said on Monday, noting that the overall security risk for the tournament in India has been assessed as low to moderate, which is consistent with the profile of many major global sporting events.

The sources said that the assessments did not identify any specific or direct threat to the Bangladesh team, team officials, or match venues in India.

They said based on the professional advice received, the risk associated with Bangladesh's scheduled fixtures in Kolkata and Mumbai is assessed as low to moderate, with no indication of risks that cannot be effectively managed through established security planning and mitigation measures.

The BCB President Aminul Islam said on Thursday that the BCB stands firm in its decision not to play its ICC Men's World Cup matches in India, following the ICC's rejection of its request.

"We will continue to communicate with the ICC. We want to play the World Cup, but we won't play in India. We will keep fighting. There were some shocking calls in the ICC Board Meeting. The Mustafizur issue is not an isolated single issue. They (India) were the sole decision makers in that issue," he said

"ICC had denied us our request to shift our matches away from India. We are not sure about the status of world cricket. Its popularity is going down. They have locked away 200 million people. Cricket is going to the Olympics, but if a country like us is not going there, it is ICC's failure," he added.

Bangladesh's Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul on Thursday said that the ICC failed to convince them on security concerns in India.

"ICC has failed to convince us on the security question. ICC has not taken any stand on our grievances. Even the Indian government did not communicate with us, or try to assuage our fears," Asif Nazrul said

As per the current schedule, Bangladesh are scheduled to kick off their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign on February 7 against two-time champions West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The Litton Das-led side is then scheduled to face Italy on February 9 at the same venue before facing England in Kolkata again. After facing England, Bangladesh are scheduled to travel to Mumbai to play Nepal at Wankhede Stadium.

yeah they thought BCCI will make some concessions and they can peddle that to their foolish fans as some kind of victory. But BCCI for all its problems is decently run. They know they don't have to comment on this and just need to let BCB dig their own grave.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Please don’t punish them any further. They have already been humiliated beyond what was necessary. Anything more now will bring bad karma bro.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Correct.

Bangladesh just do not want to play in India. Simple. Not sure why it is making the sanghi burn.

i don't think any sanghi burns with less bangladeshis in India, may be some lefties, commies or congis may burn

 

[SportsWarrior]

because BCB has not officially written to ICC that they have withdrawn. Only press conferences and they are hoping their begging will give them some reprieve

The bad Karmic debt they have piled up a lot, those need to be paid.

Need to revoke their test status if possible and also punish any team that chooses to play them in any series moving forward.

Time to put a nail on their cricket once and for all.....

It's coz timing is only an Indian argument. Does it have any real world bearing on security threats?

Lying once again

1) ICC investigation concluded there is no security concern. So timing comes after that and wasn't even required to be discussed.

2) The only point BCB brought again and again was Fizz being removed in a private league which has nothing to do with security issue.

Does this topic has the record for most lies on a topic from Bangladeshis and Pakistanis? Should start tracking this record.

Our Indian friends are so excited to welcome Scotland!

Please do not mess this up , if Scotland refuse in the future , it will really hurt.

No one wants bangla to come. You can keep pretending otherwise but probably your current besties Pakistanis are also laughing at what happened behind your back.

This is like the story of the greedy fox. After being kicked out of a tournament they go - we really didn't want to come, please don't ask us to come

When reality is you guys were kicked out of the world cup by 14 countries as soon as they got a chance. That's your place in the world.

The most humbling discovery for them was that 14 out of 16 countries, including associates wanted them kicked out and took the first opportunity to vote for them to be kicked out.
