The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has reportedly refused to travel to India for the T20 World Cup 2026 amid growing tensions between both countries. The board’s decision comes after an emergency meeting was held on Saturday evening where Bangladesh’s interim government’s Youth and Sports Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul recommended the BCB to urge the ICC to relocate BAN’s matches. Amid prevailing tensions between both countries, the issue snowballed after the BCCI asked KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman following which the BCCI decided to put India’s tour to Bangladesh in September on hold.
Bangladesh won’t travel to India for T20 World Cup
As per multiple reports, Bangladesh have penned an email to the International Cricket Council (ICC) conveying that they do not wish to travel to India for the T20 World Cup 2026 due to security reasons. Should the ICC grant Bangladesh an exemption, then the country will follow Pakistan’s footsteps in playing their matches at a neutral venue – Sri Lanka. The T20 World Cup 2026 is scheduled to begin from February 7, with BAN set to play West Indies in their tournament opener on the same day. An official press release from the BCB is expected shortly.
Earlier today, a report claimed that the BCB will write to the ICC seeking urgent clarification on security arrangements for Bangladesh players, team officials, media personnel, sponsors and travelling supporters during the tournament. Meanwhile, the BCCI has rejected Bangladesh’s plea to shift their T20 WC games, labelling it as a logistical nightmare.
“We are sending letter to ICC putting three clauses into it. Firstly, we would like to know from them about Mustafizur (exclusion from IPL) and secondly what is the security plan for us in the World Cup. More so because not only players will travel to India but along with them, media, fans and sponsors would also travel there to see the World Cup. Those who will go there, what will be their security status,” a top BCB official told Cricbuzz.
