"ICC reportedly refuted the claim"

So have they refuted or not? Who have they "reportedly" done this to?

Very low standard of journalism from the Indian media. What kind of article is this?

Asif Nazrul came with evidence, and you guys are spreading fake news as a rebuttal.
 
Considering ICC is effectively BCCICC and Jay Shah (son of RSS Amit Shah) is the ICC president, it is possible games may not be moved.

Cricket has been rigged for quite a while. It is a tragedy when happened to this classy British sport. :inti

TBH I am bored of these reportedly stuff. Bangladesh made official press conference and took ICCs name openly saying they said India's security is not upto the mark. If ICC has an iorta of shame left, they also should a similar press conference, openly call out BCB for gaslighting and lying and then put a sanction on their team. If they dont, people will accept that what Bangladesh is saying is indeed true.

Allegiance is with justice, honest and decency.

Dev Bhai doesn't understand this since he is a narrow minded nationalist.

But an internationalist like yourself will understand.

Ever since this bauna took over ( note I am using the Indian definition of this word, it is inoffensive in their eyes), the whole sport has went backwards. Hybrid tournaments, no handshakes, no accepting trophies,Olympics politicised, u19 players behaving like thugs, IPL contracts being cancelled, even coincidentally we had worst ashes in history. It has went downhill month by month.

ICC is responsible body and won't make public statement just because we wants ,they are already told them either Play in india or boycott the World T20. BCB is run by Islamist so they can say whatever they want to appease the own public.

Agree. Cricket turned into a farce.

I miss the good old days when cricket used to feel like a professionally run sport. Not the case anymore.

I just hope Indians will not hijack and destroy football like they did to cricket. :inti

How come so many days have passed but no final announcement has been made by the ICC?

What about the world's "strongest" board's control over the ICC?

What about the "greatest" nation's pride?

Why is ICC taking so long to announce the decision against BD?


🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
After admitting that Bangladesh faces security risks in India, the ICC has now suggested that Bangladesh prepare a World Cup squad without Mustafizur Rahman.


By doing this, the ICC has indirectly proven its own failure — that India cannot guarantee Bangladesh’s safety.
Bangladesh’s response was swift and clear. The sports adviser stated that asking a team to drop its key player due to security concerns is illogical, absurd, and unrealistic. Bangladesh has also reiterated that it will remain firm on its decision not to play the World Cup in India.
Security failure cannot be solved by sacrificing players.

How can ICC suggest other teams who to select and who not to select? LOL.

Mustafiz is not banned by ICC. So, why should he not be selected?

why ICC made exception for Pak? and Indian team will travel to SL for game against Pak? not only that , Pak is allowed to play knockouts in SL if they qualify which means Final can be moved from India too.

Why did BCCI and ICC agree to this ? now BCB can cite it as an example
 
www.newagebd.net

Mustafiz flagged as security risk by ICC

If pacer Mustafizur Rahman is in the squad for the forthcoming T20 World Cup, the security threat will increase for the Bangladesh national team, ICC said in a letter to the Bangladesh Cricket Board, according to youth and sports adviser Asif Nazrul.
www.newagebd.net www.newagebd.net
However, in a different letter sent by the ICC security team, some points were flagged as security threats.

Apart from Mustafiz being included, the two points are the supporters wearing Bangladesh jerseys and the proximity of the national election of Bangladesh.
 
Any one knows who was the 3rd umpire in the ODI game yesterday b/w India and NZ that was held in India?

You can count on some of the Indian posters here to twist and contort their bodies like in yoga, 360 degrees, to justify how Mustafiz is guilty and how he took part in oppressing minorities.

It was pre decided as Lanka is co host of ICC World T20 2026. This is not a hybrid model which applied in champion trophy and Asia cup.

In 2029 champion trophy which will be hosted by india ,Pakistan will face same situation - either comes or watch the final from at home

Anyways i agree current BCCI adminstration is very week, if BCCI run by N. Srinivasan like people's they would have not agreed with any pre conditions.

This is only Bangladesh fake propaganda, ICC already exposed their lie.

It was only natural ICC would never ask a member board to drop a player. Nor will it meddle in national elections. Or ask fans not to wear national colours.

This makes BCB and its sports advisor look real bad

haha why would india travel to SL to play a team thats not co host? so its definitely Hybrid arrangement. India only travelled to BD in 2011 because BD was co host. here India has no match against SL to play yet they will pack their bags and go to colombo to accomodate Pak

Nice try to make it look like co host issue

India - Bangladesh and lanka were co - Host of 2011 World cup yet India play opening game in Bangladesh.

Australia - NZ were co- host of 2015 world cup and Australia Play against Nz in nz.

Do you Even know meaning of hybrid model and co- hosted tournament? First find it.

There is reason why BCCI ( although they should have never agreed to any pre conditions with minnow teak like Bangladesh and Pakistan) only agree untill 2027 because only single tournament was hosted by india during that period that too with a co host country,

2029 champion trophy will be hosted by india Only where you will see if there will be hybrid model or not.

Pakistan will not host any ICC international tournament for foreseeable future so no problem for india.

India will travel to SL and Play Pakistan. That is definitely hybrid arrangement

There is no example where host country travelled to Co Host country and agreed to play match against third country.

India travelled to BD in 2011 because BD was co Host. Bigger host travelled to Smaller co host to play game against it

Aus Travelled to NZ in 2015 Because NZ was co host. Bigger Host travelled to Smaller Host to play game against it

in 2026 , India has no game against SL in group stage , So why its travelling to SL 🤣🤣
 
ICC considers alternate venues for Bangladesh’s World Cup games: reports

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is reportedly exploring alternate venues within India to host Bangladesh’s matches during the T20 World Cup 2026, amid an ongoing standoff with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) over security concerns.

According to a report by Cricbuzz, the ICC is unlikely to approve BCB’s request to shift Bangladesh’s fixtures entirely out of India to Sri Lanka, despite repeated representations from the board.

With less than four weeks remaining before the tournament begins on February 7, logistical challenges are understood to be a major factor behind the ICC’s reluctance.

The dispute escalated following recent geopolitical tensions between India and Bangladesh, after which BCB formally requested a venue change, citing concerns over player safety.

The issue gained further traction after Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman was released by IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders on the recommendation of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

While the ICC has assured full security arrangements, BCB officials have maintained their stance, stating that playing on Indian soil could compromise the safety of their players.

The ICC is yet to officially respond to BCB’s second formal letter on the matter, but reports suggest the request for relocation to Sri Lanka is expected to be rejected again.

Instead, the ICC, in consultation with the BCCI, is considering shifting Bangladesh’s matches to alternative venues within India. Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram have emerged as potential options.

Bangladesh were originally scheduled to play three group-stage matches in Kolkata, against West Indies on February 7, Italy on February 9, and England on February 14, before travelling to Mumbai to face Nepal on February 17.

However, Cricbuzz reported that both the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) and Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) have been approached regarding the possibility of hosting the matches.

The TNCA has indicated its readiness to accommodate additional fixtures at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, citing the availability of eight prepared pitches.

The KCA has also expressed a strong interest in hosting matches in Thiruvananthapuram.

Chennai is already a confirmed venue for the tournament and is set to host several matches, including a potential Super 8 fixture involving India. Thiruvananthapuram, meanwhile, is not part of the original venue list.

Again read the different between hybrid model and co host nation's.

Btw if Pakistan take away final of World T20 2026 from Ahmedabad to colombo them it will be win for Pakistan but final m pahuchne ki Aaukat nahi hai minnow ki.

It's Only india who already taken away the only ICC tournament final Pakistan is awarded for a long long time by reaching in the final and winning it.

Each passing hour, this story is just more Popcorn worthy lmao. Those 3 things mentioned by BCB sounds insane. If true (which I highly doubt) - that's also equally embarassing for ICC and BCCI if they still want to force BD to play in IND. Honestly, at this point, the amount of hostility that has been created by both side, just move their game to SL and move on. Neither Indians or Bangladeshis wants their game in India. Relationship between these two boards and countries are almost in IND/PAK level now.

To me personally, it feels like the BD government is trying their best to rise anti indian sentiments as much as possible before the world cup and the election and are willing to sacrifice BD's cricket for it (which is bizzare imo). South asians bro, different breed of politics and nonsense.

To be fair on ICC, let's assume innocent until proven guilty. If such a letter was sent to BCB, all BCB has to do is release the letter to the world and we will have no doubt after. After all, why shouldn't BCB do that if such absurd things were demanded by ICC, and they rightfully should. Matter of fact, I think this also becomes a legal issue if true - trying to influence team selection, forcing a team to play in a hostile territory when threats looms, etc. Till then, I think we should give ICC the innocent tag - cause boards like BCB is known to give statements and change them.

The things Bangladesh is claiming are serious charges against India. If ICC security team has indeed said those things - BCB must make the letter public and should not travel to India at any cost. After all security is first and even we Indians will agree to it.

However, if those are false allegations, ICC must take action against BCB for gaslighting. It is actually a serious offence.

I understand Bengali and after listening to the entire PC, I have no doubt the guy was lying. His last statement of we agree to move our games in Pakistan was a giveaway. LOL

Then again, the person who was doing the press conference is BD Sports minister and not a member of BCB.

They are under no obligation to release it.

ICC should clarify officially and urgently. The reputation of the game is at stake here. So far only Indian media has claimed ICC has rejected the report but are not naming any official sources.

Bangladesh were originally scheduled to play three group-stage matches in Kolkata, against West Indies on February 7, Italy on February 9, and England on February 14, before travelling to Mumbai to face Nepal on February 17.

However, Cricbuzz reported that both the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) and Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) have been approached regarding the possibility of hosting the matches.

The TNCA has indicated its readiness to accommodate additional fixtures at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, citing the availability of eight prepared pitches.

The KCA has also expressed a strong interest in hosting matches in Thiruvananthapuram.

Chennai is already a confirmed venue for the tournament and is set to host several matches, including a potential Super 8 fixture involving India. Thiruvananthapuram, meanwhile, is not part of the original venue list.

Another red herring

Bengal is anti-BJP state

That is BJP lost in Bengal

Which means Hindu extremists lost the state elections in Bengal

The Indian Chief of ICC is consulting the BCCI to move the games from probably the state most welcoming to BD team to an anti-BD state 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Something tells me that it won't fly because the elections in BD are only few weeks away. Any executive of BCB agreeing to this movement of venues within India will be taken to cleaners because of the elections environment 🤣🤣🤣
 
It's upto BD people and BCB, what ever the conclusion they reach. It's their prerogative

Regardless, whatever the endresult would be....what's taking the world's "strongest" board so long to display and exercise it's power?

It's been days 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cricinfo and cricbuzz are top two best sites for cricketing news - when they published any report it likely from official source.

Btw both ICC chairman and CEO are Indians so wo bhi news Indian se hi aayegi ,🤣🤣

To be fair, many indians were all saying this when India did not want to play in PAK and wanted the Hybrid model. I was very adamant about this hybrid issue which would come bite india behind later in the future, which is happening right now and did happen with Pakistan too. India fought their way through the Hybrid model and got to play their matches in UAE - should have not participated to begin with. This opened the door for other teams to demand the same thing. Now, it actually becomes harder for ICC to refuse this model if security threat is actually found.
 
🤣🤣🤣🤣

The 3D Disinformation Printers here pretending that the Indian Bengal is the same as rest of the India

A BD fast bowler was picked by a Calcutta Club because there is a market for BD players there

The state of Bengal has an anti-hindu-extremist CM. Her name is Mamta Benerjee - Trinamol Congress

She is criticized by the BJP and other Hindu extremists for supporting Muslims

During the last State elections, despite being the PM of the country, Modi visited and participated in Bengal elections campaign for BJP.

Modi was so desperate that he made misogynist comments about Mamta Benerjee. He tried to rally the bigots behind misogyny but lost the elections

Jay Shah's father, Amit Shah called the Indian Bengal Muslims termites and imposters. This was not taken well by most of the Indian Bengal.

BJP despite its efforts and help from Modi and the federal govt resources lost the state elections

If there was ever a safe place in India for BD matches, it was Calcutta. But with the Federal Govt backing the Hindu Extremists of the country, even Calcutta is not safe now

Moving any matches from Calcutta to even a more dangerous city for BD and Muslims in general is just an eyewash

Best to leave the decision to BCB

But with BD elections within a few weeks, I don't think another city with India is going to fly politically within BD

Mate are you a W⚓ IRL also or you just play one here?
 
There is also no suggestion in the assessment that the ICC is setting conditions regarding player selections, or instructing fans to not move around in their team t-shirts, or that domestic elections should be postponed.

As per the @Devadwal posted cricinfo article.

Bangladesh minister is shameless liar

Reputation and integrity of cricket were violated a long time ago.

It is no longer a classy British sport. It has become a farcical Indian sport. :inti

Comments like this is why people trolls you man. Having a proper convo turns into a joke when you have nothing substantive... This isn't a matter of what you personally are doing, the nation will look like liars if they are unable to prove it. Cause that comment they made was a pretty big and a wild accusation. They should show to the world that ICC is picking favorite if true so that ICC has no legs to stand on.

It was pre decided as Lanka is co host of ICC World T20 2026. This is not a hybrid model which applied in champion trophy and Asia cup.

In 2029 champion trophy which will be hosted by india ,Pakistan will face same situation - either comes or watch the final from at home

Anyways i agree current BCCI adminstration is very week, if BCCI run by N. Srinivasan like people's they would have not agreed with any pre conditions.

Is ministerial evidence not enough for you? ICC itself have admitted the existence of the document, but has claimed it is misinterpreted. It is your prerogative if you want to doubt a minister but believe unverified, unsourced Cricinfo articles, but interestingly I have not seen you ask for one document related to the unjust removal of Mustafizur for evidence of why the Government of India made such a move. You have hih standards for the victim but no requirements from the criminal.

Anyway, the BCCI have already admitted to security issues in >50% of India and are offering to play in some small areas they feel is safe.
So please think logically if there are no security concerns in India, why are they making these concessions?
 
Win loss claims analysis (also, please follow this template)

1. BD Plays in different venue in India: both sides claim a win.

2. BD doesn’t play at all: both sides claim a win.

3. BD plays outside India: BD claims a win.

4. BD plays at the same venues in India: India claims a win.

I think you're mistaken. I do have an issue of removal of Fizz (me personally, some of my countrymen, not so much). If they could not give protection to fizz, means that BD team would also have a hard time getting protection for all their travelling members - hence am all for moving to SL those BD games. Again, this is me using my own logic and common sense - my countrymen's POV isn't the same POV of mine.

And from my understanding - I do understand/speak bengali, not fluently, you're welcome to correct me - that document/letter is unofficial. Even if unofficial, means it's a risk that ICC acknowledged (which I think is just) but not official so that minister had no credible evidence of sharing that as an official document. So no, when a politician opens their mouth, it's not usually that credible these days be it west or any part of the world. So yes, release the OFFICIAL DOCUMENT - and not informal chat that they had. AGAIN, ME PERSONALLY, am all for moving the games to SL. Drama ends, wc can continue, everyone will be happy.

5. Keeping Mustafizur out of the IPL because of hurt egos, while graciously and desperately wanting to host the entire Bangladesh team including Mustafizur for a tournament in India? Yes, that is definitely a big win for India. :yk :inti
