BCB accepts ICC’s T20 World Cup withdrawal decision after Scotland replaces Bangladesh ...Middle East

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) won’t contest the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) decision to replace Bangladesh with Scotland in Group C of the T20 World Cup 2026. The ICC was forced to remove Bangladesh after the BCB refused to send their team to India, citing security concerns.

On January 22, the ICC gave the BCB a 24-hour ultimatum to reconsider its stance or risk missing out. The BCB approached the ICC’s independent Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) in the hope of rescheduling their matches in Sri Lanka.

BCB bows down

The move didn’t work. It was reported that BCB would take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland. But that won’t happen. That’s because BCB has decided to accept ICC’s decision.

“We have accepted the decision of the ICC board. Since the ICC has said that we cannot go and play, or they cannot shift our games to Sri Lanka, in this case, we cannot go and play in India. Our position remains the same. We are not going to any separate arbitration or anything here,” BCB’s media committee chairman Amzad Hossain said.

“After the ICC board meeting, there was a cabinet meeting of the Bangladesh government, and a decision was made there. The decision clearly stated that our team will not be able to go to India. This decision has been communicated by the government. After that, the ICC asked us to reply within 24 hours. We told them politely that it is not possible for us to go and play according to this fixture,” he added.

BCB could lose up to $27 million (INR 247 crore), roughly 60 percent of their annual income, if the ICC does not give them broadcast share, sponsorship, and tournament-related revenue from the T20 World Cup.
