The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has called an important meeting today with national team players and the Sports Minister to discuss whether the team should travel to India.
The meeting comes after the International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected Bangladesh’s request to avoid traveling to India, placing the final decision back in the hands of the BCB.
ICC Sets Deadline for Final Decision
According to sources, the ICC has given the Bangladesh Cricket Board until Thursday to make a final call regarding participation in India. The interim Bangladeshi government has expressed serious security concerns, making it reluctant to send the team.
Following a vote during the ICC board meeting, it was decided that if Bangladesh refuses to travel to India, a replacement team will be arranged.
Scotland Emerges as Possible Replacement
Sources indicate that Scotland is the most likely candidate to replace Bangladesh if the team withdraws from the T20 World Cup.
With only one day left to decide, the pressure is mounting on the Bangladesh Cricket Board as players’ opinions are expected to play a crucial role in the final outcome.
The situation has created uncertainty around Bangladesh’s participation, with global cricket authorities closely monitoring developments.
