ICC officials went to Bangladesh last week, where they talked to BCB on the venue change issue of T20 World Cup 2026. Actually, after the exclusion of Mustafizur Rahman from IPL, Bangladesh is trying its best to show a sharp attitude. There was a ban on IPL telecast in Bangladesh, then BCB demanded from ICC to shift the T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is co-hosting the tournament with India. Now the latest update has come in this matter, Bangladesh has got a big shock.
Bangladesh Cricket Board says that their team is in danger in India. In this connection, ICC officials had gone to talk to BCB to assure them that the team would be completely safe. Bangladesh was threatening that if the venue was not changed, it would be out of the T20 World Cup 2026. Now there has been a new twist in this matter, ICC has given an ultimatum to BCB.

According to ESPNcricinfo, ICC has warned Bangladesh Cricket Board in this regard. ICC has asked BCB to take a final decision on whether to participate in the T20 World Cup or not by January 21 and let us know. Last Saturday (January 17), an ICC official had met BCB officials in Dhaka, in which this deadline was given. According to the report, Bangladesh is adamant that they will not play their matches in India.
ICC has told BCB that if Bangladesh does not inform by January 21 whether it will play in the tournament or not, then the name of the replacement team will be announced.
