ICC Rejects Bangladesh Adviser's 'False' Claims on T20 World Cup Security in India
- •ICC strongly rejected claims by Bangladesh sports adviser Asif Nazrul regarding security concerns for the 2026 T20 World Cup in India.
- •Nazrul alleged ICC flagged Mustafizur Rahman's presence, fan jerseys, and Bangladesh elections as security risks, demanding unreasonable conditions.
- •ESPNcricinfo reported ICC's internal security assessment found low to moderate risks, standard for international events, not justifying match relocation.
- •ICC sources clarified Nazrul misread the document, stating it discussed hypothetical scenarios, not actual threats or instructions to Bangladesh.
- •BCB confirmed raising concerns and requesting match relocation but stated Nazrul's cited communication was internal, not an official ICC response.
Why It Matters: ICC refutes Bangladesh adviser's claims, clarifying no specific threats or demands were made regarding T20 World Cup security.
