The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said it has formally requested the International Cricket Council (ICC) to relocate all of their 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup matches to venues outside India, citing safety and security concerns.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) convened an emergency board meeting on Sunday afternoon, after having done one via Zoom on Saturday evening, after Mustafizur Rahman was released from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) squad for IPL 2025 on the instructions of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) owing to ongoing tensions between India and Bangladesh.

“The Board reviewed the situation in detail, taking into account developments over the last 24 hours and expressed deep concern over the overall circumstances surrounding the participation of the Bangladesh National Team in matches scheduled to be played in India.
