The ongoing issue between the BCCI and the Bangladesh Cricket Board is getting more complex: here are all the live updates.
Bangladesh refuse to travel to India: What is the context?
In a situation that is evolving rapidly, Bangladesh have refused to travel to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup, citing player safety. The decision came a day after the BCCI decided to remove Mustafizur Rahman from IPL 2026, instructing Kolkata Knight Riders to release him from the squad.
The decision came on the back of the turbulent geopolitical relations between India and Bangladesh. An explainer on the same can be found here.
In response, Bangladesh have made it clear they will not be sending their team to India, forcing the ICC to contemplate making changes to the schedule. With the T20 World Cup just over a month away, any tweak would be a logistical hassle to deal with.
