This past Sunday, January 4, 2026, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requested the International Cricket Council (ICC) to have its upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 matches shifted outside of India.
This came after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) asked the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to remove Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from their squad.
However, according to a report by ESPNCricinfo, the ICC has rejected BCB’s plea to shift World Cup games outside of India, failing to do which would risk forfeiting points.
