The Bangladesh government has made it clear that their team will not come to India to play the 2026 T20 World Cup. It was clearly stated by the International Cricket Council that Bangladesh will have to play its matches in India, but Bangladesh refused this and boycotted the tournament. Now the question is arising that which team will be a part of the World Cup in place of Bangladesh.
Which team will replace Bangladesh?
It was told in many reports that now Scotland will be included in the T20 World Cup instead of Bangladesh. Bangladesh was part of Group C of the tournament. Scotland will be placed in Group C at this place.
Bangladesh expressed desire to play in Sri Lanka
Bangladesh’s sports advisor Asif Nazrul said in a statement that Bangladesh players wish to play in the T20 World Cup, but they want to play their matches in Sri Lanka.
Keeping an eye on the situation, the Bangladesh government said in a statement that they are not sure about the situation in world cricket. Due to this the popularity of the game is decreasing. Cricket is going to the Olympics, but if a country like Bangladesh does not participate, it will cause loss to the ICC.
Why did the dispute happen?
So let us tell you that when ICC released the schedule for the upcoming T20 World Cup, Bangladesh team did not have any problem in playing in India. Then after this, in the auction held for IPL 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders bought Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. Meanwhile, reports of atrocities on minority Hindus came to light in Bangladesh.
After this, there was a protest in India that Mustafizur of Bangladesh should be stopped from playing IPL. Then something like this happened, Mustafizur has been released from IPL. After this Bangladesh refused to play T20 World Cup matches in India.
