A major controversy has erupted ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup after Bangladesh raised serious concerns about playing their matches in India
Bangladesh decided not to travel to India, citing security worries, and requested the ICC to shift their matches to Sri Lanka, a co-host of the tournament
The ICC rejected Bangladesh’s request, stating there was no need for a venue change. Despite this, Bangladesh remained firm and hopes the decision will still be reconsidered
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif reportedly made a bold statement, urging Pakistan to support Bangladesh by pulling out of the World Cup
Latif claimed that without India vs Pakistan, half the World Cup loses its value. He called this a rare chance to challenge the existing cricket order, even if it comes at a cost
Latif warned Pakistan could face sanctions, but insisted action matters more than words. With tensions rising, the future of the 2026 T20 World Cup hangs in the balance
