Bangladesh Refuses T20 World Cup 2026 India Travel; BCCI, ICC Discuss Crisis

  • Bangladesh refuses to travel to India for T20 World Cup 2026, citing player safety and worsening bilateral relations.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) made the decision after advice from the national government.
  • This follows BCCI's instruction to remove Mustafizur Rahman from KKR, reportedly due to attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
  • The decision creates a major logistical challenge for ICC and BCCI, with the tournament just a month away.
  • Possible outcomes include Bangladesh being forced to play, matches relocated to Sri Lanka, or team replacement.
