Boomers and millennials (my generation) still love cricket.

Gen Z are more into football. I call this "Messi and Ronaldo" effect. Also, cricket turning into a farce never helps I guess. :inti

It is possible football may overtake cricket's popularity in BD in 30-40 years. 2-3 generations later.

Nipah virus: Some Asia airports screen passengers after outbreak in India

Airports in Thailand and Nepal have begun screening passengers from West Bengal.

Nipah virus outbreak in India triggers Asia airport screenings​


An outbreak of the deadly Nipah virus in India's West Bengal state has sparked concern in parts of Asia, with some tightening screening measures at airports.

Thailand has started screening passengers at three airports that receive flights from West Bengal. Nepal has also begun screening arrivals at Kathmandu airport and other land border points with India.

Five healthcare workers in West Bengal were infected by the virus early this month, one of whom is in a critical condition. Some 110 people who were in contact with them have been quarantined.

The virus can spread from animals to humans. It has a high death range – ranging from 40% to 75% – as there is no vaccine or medicine to treat it.
 
ICC keeps Bangladesh on standby as Pakistan’s T20 World Cup future remains uncertain – Report

Should Pakistan boycott the tournament, and considering that all Bangladesh wanted was to play their games only in Sri Lanka, this swap fits the criteria (for the ICC), which also cuts on logistical challenges for them.

As per reports:

Bangladesh could still make a late entry into the 2026 T20 World Cup if Pakistan decides to withdraw in solidarity with them. The ICC had earlier ejected Bangladesh after the BCB refused to play in India citing security concerns. However, officials have indicated that if Pakistan pulls out, Bangladesh would be given the first chance to replace them in Group A, with all their matches shifted to Sri Lanka as per their original request.

This arrangement is seen as posing limited logistical challenges. The PCB is yet to make a final decision, with options ranging from a complete boycott to skipping only the high-profile clash against India in Colombo. Their decision, expected within days, will determine whether Bangladesh is reinstated into the tournament.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

They are not giving the visas even to BD journalists and think that BD is going to accept this second invitation

🤣🤣🤣🤣

If the BCB and the BD govt were run by Wasim Akram and Atif Aslam, this plan would have worked

🤣🤣🤣🤣

BJP bigots running the ICC like their village's Panchayat

All this shows is how desperate India is that the show goes on.

It's a shame Pakistanis have the desi mindset, they should really just walk away and let the Indians have their part time sport to themselves.

Walking away from the Indian game makes sense. It would enrage the sanghis/hurt BCCICC's pocket without jeopardizing Pakistan's Super 8 qualification chances.

Small Polite query from Last Benchers association:

" if Pak players were not allowed/not selected/banned - takeurpick - since 2009 in the IPL,

- Why did Bangladesh players continue playing for every year from 2009 till 2025, & this fizz episode?

- Why did BCB not pull out their guys from 2009 in solidarity with ummat bro - Pakistan?


- Just asking...✌️😃🌞💥🪔

Bangladesh's T20 World Cup exit is a precedent that must be followed: Mark Butcher​


Speaking on the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, Butcher labelled Bangladesh's exit from the tournament, two weeks before it was due to start, as "an absolute s***show", and drew parallels to India's refusal to play their Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan last year.

"There have been a lot of pre-ceding events – not to this particular farrago – that have parallels," said Butcher. "Obviously, the India Champions Trophy issue with Pakistan and how that ended up being resolved with India playing matches in Dubai, including the final. We've had tournaments, kind of re-jigged and re-arranged to accommodate one team or another throughout the history of the game of cricket, but perhaps not quite in the way that we've seen in recent times.

"I think the India example for the Champions Trophy, everyone could see that coming, that was so obvious that you could see it from space that that was going to be the position. The ICC had a choice to make at that point – do they do what actually should happen from now on in? This is a precedent that I think is worth following, that when a team – whether it's through their government or it's off their own bat – have security concerns or whatever concerns about visiting a country for a tournament, then basically they should be scrapped and the next cab off the rank qualifies and you go ahead without them. That I think is the precedent."

Bangladesh were replaced by Scotland for the 2026 men's T20 World Cup after they refused to travel to India for the tournament, citing security concerns. After weeks of negotiations, the ICC officially removed Bangladesh from the event last Saturday (January 24), two weeks before they were set to play their first match.

Bangladesh's removal comes just over a year after India refused to travel to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Following the BCCI's decision, an agreement between the ICC, PCB and BCCI was made which arranged for India's matches at the tournament to be played at a neutral venue.

The agreement also stated that all India-Pakistan matches at ICC events between 2024 and 2027 will be played at a neutral venue. "I'm certainly not being naive in thinking that everyone else stands in the same position in India does because they don't. That's visible from space. However, the integrity of the sport should still be more important than where most of the money comes from. Pakistan are catching heat here because they intimated they would stand with Bangladesh if Bangladesh weren't able to have their games moved. So now what are they going to do? Are they going to pull out? I doubt it, I think it's too late.

"It's a horrible, horrible mess, and I think the only way through it going forward is that if you know for some reason you are the problem, or you have a problem with the tournament or where the tournament is being held or who's running the tournament or whatever the hell else it is then it's up to you. You either go and you play, get your security sorted out as many countries have done travelling to many other different countries, and you play the tournament, or you step aside and somebody else does. I think that's the only fair way to go forward."

I heard that if BD apologizes and agrees to play in India, they still have a chance.

Anyways, they play all their games in Kolkatta which is 50% BD illegals. So BD should feel at home there. Mamata Didi loves to protect BD people. So BD players will be safe.
 
Indians should be happy that Bangladesh is not coming... Instead, they are doing bhangra that Bangladesh should play here, they can play there to feel like home...

No chance now as agreement with Scotland is already signed . They are already announced the squad and all the travel arrangements.

Only way Bangladesh can make a entry ( which I don't think they even want) if Pakistan boycott and they can replace them which is near imposible as Pakistan is already Surender.

Bangladesh cannot play as IND did not want BD to participate in WT20. BCB should've been smart here and not taken the bait laid our by BCCI. Just canceling IPL broadcasting in BD would've been appropriate response.

$300k-500k participation fee is nothing for BCB, and they will get their usual annual revenue from ICC anyway. However, issue is they will lose huge interest from people if they dont participate in a tournament. No one cares about whatever upcoming home series is in Mirpur. There is also no guarantee, they will be able to play ODI WC in South Africa either.

Overall, this fiasco will peg back BD Cricket by at least 2-4 years.
 
From my direct experience, we have a front seat to how politics works in real life.

BCCI’s arrogance and persecution, followed by

BCB’s emotional response in an entirely separate context, accompanied by

PCB’s cunning and cynical efforts to take advantage of geopolitics.

This will resolve itself as per process and the symmetry of power. As per which BCB has already shot itself in the foot.

We will soon see what’s next when PCB decides what it wants to do.

14 out of 16 countries decided there was no valid security concern.

The ICC investigation showed there was no security issue.

The ICC also stated that only proof of security concern BCB had was that Fizz was dropped from a private league.

How? They said they won't travel to India. They requested their matches to be moved. Request was denied while keeping the status quo, i.e. BD can still travel to India and play, intact. BD refused.

Be precise. What Bangladesh wanted isn’t what you say it is.

Bangladesh wanted to play cricket in an alternate venue. That’s what they wanted and asked for.

There isn’t any doubt here, it was BCB’s official position.

Not coming to India was a threat.

And clearly they didn’t get what they wanted, which if I may repeat, is playing outside India.

The rest is semantics by people who think that the world is about saving face.

So obviously Bangladesh Govt and the powers that be found no wrong in letting their Shooting team participate in an event in India....

What a bunch of hypocrites....

Funnier is posters here thinking if Pak boycott the whole tournament or at least the match against India (which i am sure they will) - Indian economy will be hurt so bad that we'll go to the stone age or at the very least -indian economy will take such a massive hit that it will take centuries to recover.

I appreciate the concern shown by the Indian posters regarding the recent events. It has raised some questions that need to be addressed. When India refused to travel to Pakistan, how much notice was provided? Additionally, did India send a security team to Pakistan to assess the situation? These are important points to consider.

It's worth noting that none of the other countries raised any concerns about touring Pakistan, yet India's demands were met unquestioningly. This action appears to be racially motivated by the BCCI and India, and it has left a significant impact on the morale of our Bangladeshi brothers, who have already faced dismissiveness from both Pakistan and India in the past.

Pakistan is making sincere efforts to mend relationships and foster a spirit of cooperation and fairness. It is high time that India joins these efforts to promote equality and fairness in the sporting world.

Yes, the request was denied the ICC - I never disputed that.

BCCI were indeed a spectator when it comes to BD deciding if they want to participate in the WC or not.

Impact is a completely separate debate. I have never said it once that this will help or harm BD cricket. My response has been strictly to the Indian folks claiming that BD was thrown out from the WC which is factually incorrect.

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.

Now Pakistan is coming close to it. But unlike the amateurs at BCB, PCB IS smart. They know full well the consequences of a misstep and that BCCI is just itching to act. All that’s needed is for PCB to give a reason that other member nations, in all fairness, cannot justify.

Which is why PCB is merely blustering, making noise.

Oh taau, why couldn't the BCCI act when Pakistan got its way and secured a hybrid model for this World Cup? :yk :inti

How? They said they won't travel to India. They requested their matches to be moved. Request was denied while keeping the status quo, i.e. BD can still travel to India and play, intact. BD refused.

Again, the desperation for chest thumping is just plain sad.
