New Delhi: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has on Thursday (January 8) sent a follow-up letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC), detailing its security-related apprehensions about travelling to India for the upcoming T20 Men’s World Cup and reiterating its request to move its matches to Sri Lanka.The tournament is scheduled to begin on February 7. Bangladesh is slated to play four matches, three in Kolkata and one in Mumbai.Notably, Bangladesh have declined to travel to India following the release of fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The decision to release the pacer was taken by the BCCI, which cited unspecified “developments all around” as the reason. In response, the BCB has also barred the broadcast of the IPL in Bangladesh.“Following discussions with Sports Ministry advisor Asif Nazrul, the BCB has once again sent a communication to the ICC. The ICC wanted to know areas of concern with regards to security and BCB has cited them,” a source close to the board told PTI on condition of anonymity.According to the PTI report, the BCB itself is not united on the issue. One faction within the board supports Nazrul’s firm position, while another is in favour of keeping “channels of discussion open “with the ICC and Indian authorities, emphasising on the need for foolproof security measures for the entire Bangladesh team during its stay in India.At present, the ICC has not suggested any plans to relocate Bangladesh’s matches from Kolkata and Mumbai to Colombo. The BCB, however, has maintained that the ICC has shown openness to engaging with it on evaluating the security concerns raised.
