In a letter written to the International Cricket Board, Bangladesh Cricket Board had demanded to change the venue of the T20 World Cup matches. ICC has not yet come out with any stand on this, but BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia says that he has not yet received any update about whether ICC will change the venue of Bangladesh team’s matches or not. Saikia says that this matter belongs to ICC and BCB.
Bangladesh Cricket Board wanted its matches to be shifted to Sri Lanka. But according to some recent reports, ICC may propose to hold Bangladesh’s matches in Chennai and Trivandrum. On this, the BCCI Secretary says that he has not received any information that Bangladesh’s matches can be held on two other grounds in India. According to the current schedule, Bangladesh’s league matches are to be held in Mumbai and Kolkata.
According to news agency IANS, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said, “BCCI has not yet received any information on whether Bangladesh matches will be shifted to Chennai or any other place and it is not under our control. This is a matter between BCB and ICC because ICC is the governing body. If ICC informs us about the change in venue, then BCCI, being the host country, will take necessary steps. At present we have not received any such information.”
According to the current schedule of T20 World Cup 2026, Bangladesh was placed in Group C. It has to play its matches in Kolkata and Mumbai, but Bangladesh Cricket Board had refused to send its team to India for the World Cup matches citing security reasons. It will be interesting to see what decision the ICC gives on this.
