Sanghis: Bangladesh is not important. Bangladesh was kicked out of the World Cup. Blah blah.

Okay? That's fine. Why do you keep bringing up Bangladesh over and over then? What kind of mental illness is this? :inti

Bangladesh did not want to be in India. You can call it withdrawal or "being kicked out". Whatever floats your boat. Bangladesh got what they wanted at the end of the day. :dav

They should focus on 2027 WC now. India are not scheduled to host any ICC event till 2029. We can enjoy 3 years of peace.
 
Every year Is world cup yet minnows team's can't even win anything.

Your minnow Bangladesh never reached in any world cup semifinal forget about winning it while Afghanistan reached in semi last time.

Bangladesh was, is and will remain a minnow forever.

The situation is the same with Pakistan; they wanted to boycott but cannot because of the power of the BCCICC. They fear sanctions.

That is why it is said that one should not use big words, one should speak only as much as they can afford it.

Bangladesh wanted to play in Sri Lanka due to security concerns. The ICC gave them time to reconsider, but Bangladesh showed spine, stood their ground, and chose to boycott the tournament to protect their self-respect. They have moved on, it's high time andhbhakhts like you do the same instead of obsessing over what they are doing now. :rabada2

And minnow or not, every life matters, this is just a sport, not the end of the world. And if Bangladesh are minnows in cricket, then we are minnows in plenty of other sports too. :inti
 
You know things are really heading southward when....

- The WC will still go on - irrespective of who plays or boycotts :) :virat

Imo, ‘Thrown out’ is a strong term, meant to troll and make people angry.

But it is correct to say that BD was denied participation in the WC.

Consider:

One: Is it true to say that BD wanted to play the WC, but made playing outside of India a condition of their participation?

Two: Is it true to say that this demand was rejected by the ICC?

Three: Is it true to say that as a consequence BD was denied participation in the WC?

It then follows that BD was removed from the WC.

BD saying that it walked away, is a meaningless interpretation in the context of a power equation.
Click to expand...
It is not correct. Denied participation assumes that there was a request to participate. This was not the case as Bangladesh’s participation was already confirmed.

The denial was of BD’s own request of changing the conditions of their participation. BD could’ve removed that condition and still participate. They refused to do that.

You can’t deny someone something when the other person is holding all the cards that determine their participation.

One pakistan heritage player Safyaan Sharif and one afghanistan heritage player Zainullah Ihsan play for Scotland.
 
The whole Fizz saga could be the start of something big. Things always start small but they spiral into big things which most people cannot foresee. For Example, overthrow of former BD goverment in power.
 
Scotland’s journey to the World Cup has been nothing short of dramatic. Bangladesh was removed and when they were replaced, they arrived with no new World Cup jersey and no sponsors. For a moment, it genuinely looked like they might have to play the tournament in their domestic kit, unless a sponsor was found within a week.

Then came the turnaround.
Within eight days, Scotland secured kit sponsorship , Skyscanner came on board as the lead arm sponsor, while Gray-Nicolls stepped in to provide the playing gear. A Bangalore-based printing company worked relentlessly through Monday to get the jerseys printed on time.

Against all odds, the kits are ready. The team is ready.

Now, all that remains is the cricket.
Really hoping Scotland finish in a strong position and give us a story worth telling, one that inspires teams who arrive with little, but dream big.

Best of luck, Scotland.

Bangladesh govt makes shocking U-turn: Asif Nazrul reverses stance, says BCB and players boycotted India​


Bangladesh government’s sports advisor Asif Nazrul made a shocking U-turn on Tuesday as he said that the decision to boycott the T20 World Cup 2026 matches in India was taken by the cricketers and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and not the government.

“We are hopeful that ICC will give us the opportunity to play in Sri Lanka. It is our government that has decided not to go to India. Our concerns are genuine, but the ICC has not acknowledged them,” Asif Nazrul had said on 22 January after a meeting with the Bangladesh cricketers in Dhaka.

Bangladesh Players React To Government's T20 World Cup U-Turn: "Funny"

Asif Nazrul, sports advisor to the Bangladesh government, made a stunning U-turn as he claimed that the decision to pull out of the T20 World Cup 2026 was taken by the players and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Despite his previous comments making it clear that the Bangladesh government decided to not send the national team to India for the competition, Nazrul completely changed his tune in a recent interview and put the blame on the Bangladesh players. The BCB requested the International Cricket Council (ICC) to shift their games from India citing 'security concerns' but no changes were made to the tournament schedule.

Following a meeting between Nazrul, the players and the BCB officials, the decision was taken to stick to their stance - something that led to their removal from the World Cup.

The recent comments left Bangladesh cricketers upset as media reports previously claimed that they were in favour of playing the World Cup. They expressed their disappointment at the comments and one player even said that they feel 'helpless' when it comes to the recent development.

“That was funny,” a player told The Daily Star.

Another player said, “You heard what he said. What can we say? We have no one. We are helpless. We don't know what to say since we had no hand in this [World Cup exclusion]. Many things don't need to be verbalised to be understood. We didn't get any help from any side.”

Later, he changed his statement once again as he issued a clarification, admitting he failed to explain the matter clearly and made it clear that the decision was taken by the government. "Once again, I firmly state that the decision not to play in the World Cup was made by the government," he said.

Nazrul explained that his earlier comments were misunderstood during an "unprepared conversation" with journalists following a BCB event. He claimed the question asked was about whether he felt regret over not playing, not about who made the decision.

I can’t take NDTV seriously anymore. There’s just too much fake or misleading news coming from them. Sources like these only end up giving Indians an upper hand to mock Pakistan and Bangladesh based on false narratives.

BCB boss Bulbul off to Australia citing family reasons​

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul has departed the country on Monday citing family reasons, BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury confirmed to The Daily Star.

BCB boss Bulbul off to Australia citing family reasons

BCB has been unstable over the last few weeks following Bangladesh’s exclusion from the ongoing T20 World Cup.
www.thedailystar.net www.thedailystar.net
 
Aminul Haque, Bangladesh's new sports minister, is keen on mending fences with the BCCI, and India, saying he wants to "resolve this issue quickly", referring to Bangladesh's non-participation at the ongoing men's T20 World Cup.

"After taking the oath today, I met with the deputy high commissioner of India at the Parliament building. I discussed the T20 World Cup with him," Haque said on Tuesday after Bangladesh's new cabinet was sworn in following the general elections. "It was a cordial conversation. I told him that we want to resolve this issue quickly through discussions because we want to maintain friendly relations with all our neighbouring countries."

Bangladesh were replaced by Scotland at the T20 World Cup, being played in India and Sri Lanka, after their last government decided not to send the team to India - they wanted to play in Sri Lanka instead - because of geopolitical tensions. The trail of events started with the Indian government asking Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to remove Mustafizur Rahman, the only Bangladeshi player in the IPL 2026, from their squad and ended with the ICC excluding the team from the marquee tournament.

In some good news for Bangladesh, and the BCB, the ICC announced on February 9 that it would not be penalising Bangladesh for not agreeing to play their T20 World Cup matches in India. The BCB were also given the rights to host an out-of-turn ICC event prior to the 2031 men's ODI World Cup, for which they are co-hosts with India.

"From sports to all other sectors, we want to build a sincere and cordial relationship [with India]," Haque said. "You know that because of diplomatic complications, we could not play in the World Cup. If those issues had been discussed and settled earlier, our team might have participated."

India are scheduled to tour Bangladesh in September this year - a tour postponed from August 2025 - for a series of white-ball matches - three ODIs and three T20Is. That tour, though, was announced before the recent sequence of events.​

Why not? If issues can be resolved amicably then what's the problem? Why live with problems when the other party is willing to sit on the table to resolve the issue. Its better to have a good relationship with any full members which in return brings in more revenue and other benefits.
 
The petty part of me says nah, they can go hang.

But I think we should accept a reconciliation if BD/ BCB offer a hand and they make that effort.

Don’t forget it was we, India, that started this thing by arrogantly removing Fizz.

BD’s hysterical reaction came later.

End of the day we need to be mature; we are the bigger nation.

And, like it or not, I believe BD has learnt a lesson too.

Wasn't there a similar news like a week ago that he ran away? Read that his family lives in Australia. He has been living there for over 2 dacade and only came back alone to be president. Also, I think Muslims are about to start Ramadan and usually like to spend these times with their family. As usual, desi news making noise about nothing. I think it's a noise pollution news to sell views/papers/clicks at best.

Election concluded. New party wants peace. Why drag mud along the way when issues can be fixed? They didn't ask or demand for something nightmarish either. If the new party wants to restore it, let it happen. Trust builds along the way. Take that orange idiot for an example. He has destroyed trust of USA with multiple nations. If the next president wants to restore trust, would you turn your back and be like why would anyone trust them? You work with the new party to restore some trust and then see where it goes from there.

you are proposing to put ICC events in jeopardy in the hope they will not act up again? again no thanks.

They are a crap team and a shitty economy with little positive value. They should be treated as such.

Best way forward for ICC is not put Pak and India in the same group and let teams know they can withdraw if they don't want to travel to a country. eliminate their yearly payouts. Everything will fall inplace

nothing hypocritical. I was in favor of ICC telling BCCI to take hike and organize the tournament.

The fact that ICC didn't do that is on ICC.

Hence my proposed solution. Why bother dealing with a problem which you can avoid altogether.

The fallout continues plus we get new insights as time goes on. You can’t just ‘move on’ until it’s all really done.

Note this perspective in the Boria Majumdar interview of the former ACC CEO Ashraful Haque. BCB led by hysterical and naive politicians who have now gone and left the present management Carrry their mess.

https://revsportz.in/bangladesh-has...c-ceo-hopes-for-course-correction-from-dhaka/

I quote from the interview:

Boria: Asif Nazrul has put his players under the bus and rolled over them. He has harmed Bangladesh cricket by not letting the players come and play a World Cup. Your thoughts?

Ashraful Haque: Absolutely. Initially, he claimed it was the players’ decision, then reversed his stance, calling it a government decision due to pressure from players. I have spoken with the players; they all wanted to participate. The president, Aminul Islam Bulbul – a talented and promising individual in game development – was naive in terms of international cricket administration.

On the coming tour of India to BD:

Boria: With a new government, prime minister, and sports minister, could the India tour in September serve as a Maitri Safar? Could it be a financial boost for the Bangladesh Cricket Board?

Ashraful Haque: Absolutely. If India does not tour, Bangladesh cricket could regress by 5–10 years or more. It is the present government’s duty to ensure the tour happens. They must recognise the importance of maintaining this relationship. The Indian press has historically supported us, and I hope they will do so again

Also see the below on BCCI’S previous support to BCB.

In Jagmohan Dalmiya’s era, we had respect and a strong position; now we risk becoming a laughing stock due to the actions of a few individuals and the government.


During the first bundling of ICC rights in 1999, under Jagmohan Dalmiya, 6% of ICC’s total revenue was allocated to cricket development worldwide, with 3% given to the Asian Cricket Council. Essentially, we took half of the world development programme’s share. This proportion has remained largely consistent across subsequent rights deals

Tournament is almost concluding and Scotland filled in the void. Biggest series and challenge for BD is their tour of Australia later this year. I dont think any of our batsmen ever faced Scot Boland before. 🤷‍♂️
 
Bangladesh national cricket team's assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin has slammed the country's ex-sports advisor Asif Nazrul, who served under Bangladesh's former interim leader Muhammad Yunus, over the T20 World Cup controversy. In the wake of Mustafizur Rahman's exit from the Indian Premier League, Bangladesh opted not to travel to India citing "security concerns". They wanted their matches to be shifted from India to Sri Lanka, who are the co-hosts for the tournament. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected the request and gave Bangladesh a 24-hour deadline to decide on its participation. As the country remained firm on its stance, the apex cricket board replaced it with Scotland in the mega event.

When the decision to not travel to India for the group stage matches was taken, Nazrul had made it clear that it was the Bangladesh government's call. However, just before leaving his post, Nazrul took a U-turn and said that it was the decision of the players and the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Salahuddin called Nazrul a liar. "He told such blatant lies," the assistant coach said. "I am a teacher myself, and teachers generally lie a bit less. That he would say such lies so openly - I honestly can't even imagine it. How will I even show my face in front of the boys? He took such a U-turn.

"He is a teacher and a teacher at Dhaka University. A person from the highest educational institution of my country saying such lies - we can't accept this. How can we accept this? He said one thing earlier and later took a U-turn."

Nazrul was part of a meeting with Bangladesh cricketers as well as BCB officials regarding the decision to not take part in the T20 World Cup, but media reports claimed that the players did not have much say in the matter.

"Look, when a boy goes to play in a World Cup, he carries his dream - his 27-year-old dream with him. You destroy that dream in one second," said Salahuddin.

"Fine, if it's a country's decision taken for national reasons, they will sacrifice for the country. But if you talk about loss, I will talk only about personal loss. Personally, you completely ended a boy's dream. I know that two of my players went into coma mentally for five days, completely lost. The fact that we were able to bring them back onto the field in this tournament is itself a big thing," he added.

You want BCCI/India to pay for BD/BCB wrt the WC.

BD/BCB made their bed. led them sleep in it. Deny visa for all reasons. cut off trade. Let the water treaty expire. Let BD trade with their China friends. We can reevaluate in a few years.

Good. IMO PCB and BCB are not worth the headache for India/BCCI
