The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced its decision to withdraw from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 which will take place in India. The board cited security concerns as the reason. The ICC had denied Bangladesh's request to move their matches from India to Sri Lanka which led to this decision.
Manhas Refuses to Comment
Mithun Manhas who serves as BCCI President was approached by reporters on Thursday at Swami Vivekananda Airport in Raipur. The reporters wanted him to provide his opinion about Bangladesh's decision. Manhas chose not to respond and politely declined to answer the questions. He then left the airport in a waiting car.
Potential Impact on the Tournament
Scotland might replace Bangladesh in the tournament based on team rankings because Bangladesh seems unlikely to participate. The ICC has not yet made an official statement regarding this situation. The organization will publish official information about the upcoming T20 World Cup matches which start in a few days.
