On January 24, the ICC replaced Bangladesh with Scotland after the BCB refused to play its matches in India. The dispute escalated after fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was removed from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Notably, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had bought the left-arm fast bowler at the auction.
The committee was formed in May by sports minister Aminul Haque and was headed by Dr A.K.M. Oli Ullah. Former Bangla Tigers captain Habibul Bashar and barrister Faisal Dastgir were the other members. Dastgir said the investigation found Nazrul and the then interim government responsible for the decision.
The committee also spoke to Litton and Shanto about a meeting with Nazrul and former BCB president Aminul Islam. According to the report, both captains said they supported travelling to India and that the players were not consulted before the final decision.

“Why didn’t we go to India? The decision not to go to India for the T20 World Cup was essentially mine as the then sports adviser. I have said this publicly several times,” Nazrul wrote.
“The country’s dignity, the security of our cricketers, journalists and supporters, and maintaining stability in the country ahead of the next election [were central to the decision]. I believe we made the right decision,” Nazrul added.
