BCB Sent Letter To ICC For The Second Time: Bangladesh Cricket Board does not want to send its players to India for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka. For this, BCB has again emailed ICC. Earlier, an email was sent by the board regarding the safety of the players. Which was rejected by ICC. In that response, the ICC had made it clear that it did not see any problem regarding security. Now Bangladesh Cricket Board has sent a formal letter to ICC for the second time.

BCB wrote a letter to ICC for the second time

According to the report, after discussions between Bangladesh Cricket Board and Sports Ministry advisor Asif Nazral, a new letter has been sent to the ICC. Asif Nazral has taken a strong stance on this issue. A source close to the board told PTI, ‘The ICC wants to know about the security concerns and the BCB has explained the same in detail.’

The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is scheduled to start from February 7, 2026. Along with India, Sri Lanka will also host this tournament. However, Bangladesh has to play all four of its matches in India. Three matches of which will be held in Eden Gardens, Kolkata and one match will be held in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Due to the current stance of Bangladesh, clouds of doubt are looming over its participation in the tournament. This matter started after the release of Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from IPL 2026.

Bangladesh Cricket Board divided into two groups

No official statement has come yet from ICC in this matter. There are two opinions regarding this even within the Bangladesh Cricket Board. One group wants the team not to go to India and is not ready for any compromise. At the same time, the other group wants that talks should be continued with the ICC and Indian officials and they believe that the matter can be ended only if there is complete security.
