The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has refused to change its stance on relocating its T20 World Cup 2026 matches away from India.
The dispute involves the BCB, BCCI, and ICC and has continued for over a week amid rising geopolitical tensions between Bangladesh and India.
In a statement after talks with the ICC, the BCB reiterated that it won’t travel to India due to security concerns for players, officials, and staff.
The ICC asked the BCB to reconsider because the T20 World Cup schedule has already been finalized, but the BCB’s position remains unchanged.
Both the ICC and Bangladesh Cricket Board have agreed to keep discussing possible solutions, but no breakthrough has been reported yet.
Bangladesh is currently scheduled to play three matches in Kolkata and one in Mumbai when the T20 World Cup begins on February 6, 2026.
