Bangladesh to play T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka despite ICC warning

Bangladesh has reiterated their decision to not travel to India for the T20 World Cup and will request the ICC to relocate their matches to Sri Lanka despite the ICC’s refusal. The ICC warned of possible expulsion if Bangladesh does not comply, giving a 24-hour ultimatum for a response. Concerns over players’ safety and security in India were cited as reasons for the refusal, following the removal of Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL. The BCB is hopeful the ICC will allow them to play in Sri Lanka, while tensions between Bangladesh and India continue to impact diplomatic relations.
