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

[DeadlyVenom]

This episode has showed that cricinfo is also compromised now.

Usually indian news media is constantly lying, fake news factory of the world. Cricbuzz is a complete BCCI mouth piece but its horrible to see that even cricinfo is losing its credibility.

Cricbuzz has had decent output compared to Cricinfo in this saga.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I'm not going to pay too much heed to the reports going around about PCB's involvement in this mess i.e. their 'show of solidarity' with Bangladesh, because they are just rumors.

But for their sake I do hope PCB stay as far away from this mess as possible. Because they would have to be mentally deranged to involve themselves in this after all the crap that transpired during the Asia Cup.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan still has leverage over the ICC and BCCI because of the importance of Indo Pak contests to the ICC. 40-50% of ICC revenues are strongly dependent on the participation of Pakistan, India in ICC events and Indo Pak contests. Hence why the BCCI, ICC eventually bends and listens to some demands from the PCB and the Pakistani Govt.

Sadly Bangladesh offer nothing to the ICC. It will be admirable if BCB just takes a principled stand without worrying about financial consequences and sticks to it but they shouldn't be dragging the PCB into this mess. Bangladesh did nothing for Pakistan Cricket in the last 15-16 years under the Awami League govt, infact they were fully in bed with the Indians and tried their hardest to take advantage of their alliance with India against Pakistan and unnecessarily humiliated Pakistan many times by refusing to tour Pakistan inspite of making prior commitments, making false promises to tour Pakistan in exchange for votes for their chairman as ICC president, using court orders in Bangladesh as an excuse to withdraw from touring Pakistan at the last minute and made zero efforts to appeal against the court orders, demanding Pakistan host Bangladesh in UAE when the excuses to not tour Pakistan ran out.

Pakistan should not have short term Ghajini type amnesia about the attitude of Bangladeshi board, its players and officials against the PCB all these years.

Imagine being Scotland cricket fan. Their whole tournament chances depend on whether Bangladesh has a spine

Hope they get to play this T20 WC

[Rajdeep]

Its not fair to Bangladesh that their security concers are not heeded to. When one single player is a security threat, how come a squad of 15 players is safer? Make it make sense. India is clearly trying to bully Bangladesh and morally what PCB allegedly is doing is the right thing. However, this harms the sport and India is already destroying cricket. The game is on its last breath. Indians need to stop with their endless hubris. For a country that is nowadays berated by everyone. One would expect them to learn some humility.

I find it funny that when USA is banning Pakistani visas, Britain is banning Pak & BD student admission in its universities....you are saying India is berated by everyone.

Everyone like who? Your bhai bandhus in Kanneda?

[DeadlyVenom]

No one believe what these BCB and pakistan fake propaganda factory say.

Didn't BCB officials said ICC is forcing fizz to not select in the World T20 team which ICC refuted and exposed BCB.

Never ever trust a Pakistani and Bangladeshi. Period

Document mentioned that Fizz was a threat to Hindu extremists. BCB rightly mentioned it.

I believe BCB didn't ask PCB to do anything. PCB is doing things on their own (if news is true).

Anyway, BD should not go to India as it is a security/safety risk. No amount of financial incentive can change this fact.

There have been many recent incidents involving minority killings in India. Considering the recent political climate, it makes sense for BD players/fans/coaching staff to not go to India.

Yes Bangladesh has bitten more than they can chew. They really dont have much leverage

I think they should have backed down with change of venues as proposed. That wud have been a face saver for BCB. They could have said they forced BCCI to accept their demands

But this " wont tour India " wont help. ICC will not mind replacing them with Scotland. There is a reason Bangladesh has rarely toured India - coz they are not commercially good. For BCCI & ICC replacing them with Scotland does not make much difference

So now BD is in a tight corner. If they agree - then its a big loss of face. If they dont , ICC will happily replace them. Plus no chances of any India tour in the near future

 

[DeadlyVenom]

It is good for Scotland from a financial perspective but team is undercooked and under prepared. It is not right circumstances to be playing a tournament, but of course they will not say no.

This myth of ICC events cannot happen without India vs Pakistan will also break very soon. Just wait. Maybe starting from this World T20 itself if Pak refuses to take part in it. And once that delusion is broken and last selling point is gone, no other leverage will be left for PCB. IPL is running for 17 years without a single Pak players in it and absolutely no one cares. Same will happen in ICC events.

PCB must understand they are in no position to arm twist BCCI. The previous chairmen's like Najam Sethi, Zaka Ashraf, Rameez Raja etc realized that and worked around it successfully. Khudgarzi is good but you need to back it up with actions.

 

[Devadwal]

Read what was I said ,BCB said " ICC Ask BCB To Drop Mustafizur Rahman For T20 World Cup 2026"

In reply ICC rejected BCB fake propaganda.

BCB also told that ICC security team said there is security issue in india but ICC rejected that claimed as well.

This is going to happen in champion trophy 2029.

Either Pakistan comes to India or stay at home. No dramabazzi.

ICC/ BCCI knows that Pakistan is spineless nation and they are fully dependent on ICC revenue to survive.

No ICC Tournament participation means no revenue for Pakistan so they will comes and Play the champion trophy 2029 .

Now Pakistan won't host any ICC tournament in near future so no problem for BCCI/ ICC .

If I were a BD cricketer, I wouldn't want to play in India even if I am offered 100,000 Bitcoins.

Yes clearly remember those days buddy. Also remember the debates around it here including you, MMHS etc. I think for many years Bangladesh refused to tour Pakistan and PCB had to suffer loses.

Not only that BCB was also friendly with SLCB. Now both the boards hate each other and so does the fans.

Three things (with respect):

1. No one will offer you 100,000 Bitcoins as you are not worth it.
2. You eat too much to be a cricketer, even for a team like BD
3. If someone do offer 100,000 Bitcoins, you would even join Bajrang Dal tomorrow...let alone playing in India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why do you keep on begging bangladesh to take a stance? They didnt called your players as security risk. You are the ones who started this bullcrap. Why dont you guys take a stance? Why so desperate to host people you consider as security risk?

It is a wish. Not begging. Nobody called anyone security risk lol You guys are just making it up. They just didn't want him to be part of an Indian set up due to public reactions. Did Sharukh the owner say if Fiz was a threat? He was the one who bought him not bCCI.

 

[sweep_shot]

Yes Bangladesh has bitten more than they can chew. They really dont have much leverage

BD are not feeling safe to be in India. So, they don't want to come.

What leverage are you talking about? It has nothing to do with leverage.

Cricket is just a sport. It is not a matter of life and death.

Naah I am 100% sure PCB wont boycott. They are as shameless as BCCI when money is involved

[sweep_shot]

As per some people --> BD is a small country with a small cricket board. BD is a minnow in cricket. They are a mouse. So, they should always say "yes, sir" to everything in cricket.

While I do not mind saying "yes, sir" to China for political/economic reason, behaving like this in cricket is not needed.

Cricket is just a sport at the end of the day. It is not tied to geopolitics/economy. Cricket contributes less than 1% to Bangladesh's GDP.

In a nutshell, do not play in India as there is a credible security/safety issue.

That's their coping mechanism, when BCCI doesn't have the guts to take a clear stance, these fans expect the other team to do it instead. We saw exactly how that played out during the Asia Cup and the World Championship of Legends after Operation Sindoor, when BCCI fell short of growing a spine and simply saying 'no' to Pakistan.

For more, you can ask @Rajdeep, who at that time was the leader of the boycott gang here and has been continuously counting India vs Pakistan matches happening on Sundays ever since.

40-50% is a stretch but India Pakistan is a big revenue earner. No wonder we get these matches in every ICC event

With JioHotstar finding it hard to justify the current tv rights deal - expect more of the same.

Thing is BCCI is pretty shsmeless when it comes to money - and so is PCB. Both boards doing noora kushti to make most of the rivalry

Highly unlikely ICC wud send any communication to Scotland unless Bangladesh confirms they are not going

Why wud ICC create false hopes ?

Its like a company interviews 2 candidates. 1st guy gets selected , gets offer but at last moment refuses. So ideally the 2nd guy will get job offer but only after 1st guy rejects the offer officially. No point telling the 2nd guy in advance while negotiation with 1st guy is going on

 

[rballer]

I really hope this is a turning point for international cricket. ICC steps in and bans few countries. Keep cricket between England, India and Australia. It’s a sport without any international recognition. At times I have to hide the fact that I watch cricket as Americans just laugh it off as a sport.
Cricket does not benefit Pakistan in any way. It is there to fill pockets of few elites and the retired ex leeches and current Instagram wanabe celebrities.

One of the funny takes on this:

Cricket without India wont survive. It will be a niche sport like squash / snooker / netball which nobody cares about. Played by amateurs as a hobby with day jobs

These dreams will always remain dream - unless a China or USA become interested in cricket

So all this wishful thinking wont help

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Bangladesh should not travel to India at any cost. Damage is done. This isn’t the previous dalal awami regime anymore. You started this, disrespecting and insulting BD like that with the pathetic action against it’s player Fizz. You cited about security concerns of the player hence the removal, then how will you provide security for 15 BD players plus its staff against the hindutva extremist bjp goons if BD travels to India to play? Stop contradicting yourself bcci and GOI.

Thik hai bhai, mat aana, nobody's begging you to come. In fact it would be a huge favour to the game if you guys stop playing cricket altogether or any sports for that matter.

Money can be made on seeing paint dry.

Have a large population, keep most of them unemployed and give them something to talk about.
Market the event as something extraordinary, monetize and advertise it and you will see ridiculous money come in. India has learned that well.

People make/lose money on the most stupid stuff in world. Cricket is still at least some activity.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think once boomer generation dies off, cricket can slowly become liberated from Indian grip.

Gen Z and future generations are less greedy and more ideological. They are unlikely to put up with Indian discriminatory behavior even if it means they lose a bit in short-term.

The entire narrative involving "money" is a classic boomer thing. LOL.

BCCI is weak in current arrangement based on what Indian public wants from them. I believe when rights are being renegotiated from next cycle we will see BCCI dictate terms more strongly.

Much of this back and forth has less to do with current cycle but to establish status quo for next cycle.

 

[Mainul]

You are downstream, you cant dictate terms with water. Anyway all of this political jumla that's going on in your nation will die down at some point. Trade is a big deal, you are surrounded by india on must sides. China is no ones friend. You will realise that soon

From 1971 there is a huge trade gap between these two countries. India never allowed much import from Bangladesh whereas Bangladesh always imported a lot from India despite Bangladesh willing to export more. So Bangladesh never benefitted much by dealing with India.

Pakistan and Afghanistan can be our new trade partner instead of India in this region, even Srilanka or Nepal.

As of now, China is Bangladesh's biggest economic and military partner. Other major trading partners include USA, Germany, UK, France, Spain etc.

Hopefully BD-Pakistan trade relation will accelerate too.

I personally prefer BD suspend all trading ties with India. India were always ripping BD off.

[Slim]

I agree, ICC should listen to fanta joshila and replace Pakistan with India A as India vs India A should earn the most amount of money. Main revenue driver SAAAARrrr!!

Hell, it should be a worldcup where India plays vs India A,B,C,D

Because saar india gibs money to whole world saar.

[rpant_gabba]

It's a new Bangladesh and we also have a new sheriff in town.

We have a responsibility to world cricket and for safety and sanctity of the game.

The trade deficit is true but its more bcoz BD is mostly a textile exporter. Now India is mostly self sufficient in textiles. So little scope for exports to India

But BD has to import a lot of raw materials from India like cotton , coal , yarn plus food stuff like rice / veggies / fruit

Sanghis have zero class, zero decency, and zero manners.

I expect them to stoop this low. This is their level.

Please. you and and your government guaranteed presidential security. Was it presidential security?

If not, why not?

If yes, ....

Pak use of "non state actors" goes back to jinnahbhai

BTW, would you be ok with your 40 year old mate getting biblical with your 18 year old daughter?

Its not fair to Bangladesh that their security concers are not heeded to. When one single player is a security threat, how come a squad of 15 players is safer? Make it make sense. India is clearly trying to bully Bangladesh and morally what PCB allegedly is doing is the right thing. However, this harms the sport and India is already destroying cricket. The game is on its last breath. Indians need to stop with their endless hubris. For a country that is nowadays berated by everyone. One would expect them to learn some humility.

Most of the genuine news channels have been blocked by GOI. Indians live in a North korea style of delusion they are far from the fact the whole world is laughing at them how they going to learn humility?

No point trying to be sane with these guys. Lost cause, unfortunately...

Brother, We are all one,

its was just misunderstanding created by the shayaan (india) now all misunderstandings are cleared just beware of the shaytaan.

Our other brother Afghanistan is also being misguided by the shaytan once its on the right path we will then kick india out of every tournament.

Indeed we are the ummah of Muhammad (pbuh). I’ve grown up with many Pk friends, never saw them differently, gone same masjid, ate together. We get on like brothers. Its the indians who tried to divide us. The Shaytan Sheikh Hasina kept relations poor between the two brotherly nations ,taking orders from her masters. . But, despite all their effort, most of BD still never fell for their BS and fabricated rhetorics. The relations between BD-Pk is moving fast, direct flights starting again 29th January Dhaka-Karachi after 14 years.

And we hope our other bros the afghans release soon.

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

Agree.

Growing up, many of my friends were Pakistanis too.

May Allah (SWT) bless Pakistan, Bangladesh, Muslim Ummah, and all the good people.

May the sanghis suffer defeat soon; they are the modern day Nazis.

Decision will be made on Jan 21.

ICC hands are tied because if Jay Shah compromised then Modi will be toast at home.

Similarly Bangladesh are strict in their stance that security situation in India is too severe.

Bangladesh T20 WC 2026 Participation Live: The Bangladesh Cricket Board has rejected claims that the ICC set a January 21 deadline for a T20 World Cup decision, saying no date was communicated. Discussions are ongoing



Once again, fake news was planted via Cricinfo that implied ICC had given a take it or leave it ultimatum to the Brave Bangladeshi Cricket Board (BBCB). How long will this outlet get away with pushing Indian agenda on millions of unsuspecting fans?

Dude, make up your f'n mind. you are the one who posted the Jan 21 deadline with not source.

Serious do they teach any self respect in Brit-Pak culture?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Waiting to hear the news Bangladesh will not be entering Bharat...


But

Hoping for brother Das to have a stellar tournament and win man of the series if possible...

You guys took bat sponsorship from das but still want him to do well?

Mostly I have been able to spot the Indian fake news but got caught out once.

This lulloo doesn't call out the fake Indian news factory but criticises the guy who felt it was accurate news.

I am loving these meltdowns.

I do. Fully support our hindu brother in these difficult times in Bangladesh ..

 

[Hitman]

As @KingKhanWC suggested, countries need to ditch ICC and form a new cricketing body without India. That can resolve all of these issues once and for all.

Some may say what about Indian money? My answer to them is was there no cricket before 2000? Cricket survived just fine. Cricket's history goes back to 17th century.

Didn't people travel all around the world before aeroplanes were invented? Can't we go back to those days again?

 

[sweep_shot]

There are only 2 options:

Option #1: BD play all of their games outside of India.
Option #2: BD withdraw from the World Cup.

Playing in India is not an option. There is no option #3.

BCB and most of the Bangladeshi fans are okay to proceed with either option #1 or option #2.

No matter how much sanghis get excited, they are unlikely to get what they want.

We will. We don't want Kanglus to step foot on our part of the land. We already have too many of them living illegally here.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

If I were a BD cricketer, I wouldn't want to play in India even if I am offered 100,000 Bitcoins.

What would I do with my Bitcoin if I get killed by hindu extremists? I can't take Bitcoin to afterlife.

This entire issue is a safety/security issue. Nothing to do with leverage/clout. Nothing to do with incentives. Nothing to do with whether BD is a small board or a big board.

Not that i am wishing you to be killed or anything....

But why would you need 100,000 bitcoins when after life you get 72....? Polite query from the back benchers association

Bro one - What about eastern Brother Iran - and the happenings there? Which Shaytaan's influencing/misguiding whatever's happening there?

Its so easy to blame someone else instead of looking inwards, its so easy to expose you also.

I'm ok with option two - BD playing all their game in SL or Dubai or anywhere or the dark side of the moon - like i have said India will be spared the logistical and security headache if this happens.

i do not see this as a loss of face for BCCI or anything.

 

[tiger_khan]

Even if BD walks out of the WC, they would be lucky not to play in Indian stadiums with animals sitting beside the spectators & animal feces on the ground

That's exactly what's happening presently in Delhi during the Indian Open Badminton

The international badminton players are complaining about animals walking into the venues, pigeons defecating on courts during the game and horrible AQI - pollution

They are also complaining about the unhygienic environment in general, including their accommodations

The Indian media is trying to divert the above issues and calling the international players anti-Indians

BD players are not gonna miss anything, except for falling sick in India

 

[Sunny_majoka]

We will. We don't want Kanglus to step foot on our part of the land. We already have too many of them living illegally here.

Then why ICC/BCCI are begging BCB, make a quick decision and replace them. #haihimat?
