T20 World Cup 2026: Before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, the controversy related to Pakistan and Bangladesh remains a constant topic of discussion in the cricket circles. Bangladesh’s refusal to come to India due to security concerns and then Pakistan’s support affected the preparations for the entire tournament. Although now the situation has calmed down to some extent, a new question has arisen regarding revenue share, on which the statement of former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has come to light.
First know what was the whole controversy
Before the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh Cricket Board had refused to play in India. After this the ICC decided to expel Bangladesh from the tournament. After this step, Pakistan stood in favor of Bangladesh and said not to play its match against India. This decision increased the pressure on the ICC and the organisers.
However, later Pakistan changed its stand and agreed to play against India. Pakistan said that this decision has been taken on the request of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. After this the discussion intensified whether Bangladesh will get a share in the revenue of T20 World Cup or not.
what did aakash chopra say
Aakash Chopra mentioned the advisory issued by ICC in one of his videos. According to him, ICC has made it clear that no ban will be imposed on Bangladesh. That means there will be no strict action against the board.
Akash also told that a demand was made from Pakistan that Bangladesh should get the revenue share of the World Cup and that too a higher share. However, no clear information has been given regarding revenue share in the statement issued by ICC. This makes it clear that the decision on this issue has not been made public yet.
Hints about future tournaments
Aakash Chopra further said that ICC has definitely indicated that Bangladesh will host the Under-19 World Cup to be held before the 2031 ODI World Cup. However, there is no clear statement in the ICC advisory on whether the 2031 ODI World Cup will be held in Bangladesh or not.
