Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup 2026 venue-shift drama appears to be nearing its conclusion, and it may not be what the nation would have hoped for.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refused to send its team to India for the tournament after fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was removed from the IPL, and demanded their matches be shifted to Sri Lanka.
Meetings have taken place to resolve the dispute, but now, according to a report by ESPNCricinfo, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has given Bangladesh a deadline of January 21, 2026 to make a final call, and if the BCB still decides against playing in India, their spot in the T20 World Cup will be taken up by Scotland.
