ICC will travel to Bangladesh for face-to-face talks with BCB to resolve the T20 World Cup 2026 controversy over Bangladesh's refusal to play matches in India.
Bangladesh cricketers faced death threats and were labelled traitors after boycotting matches to demand removal of BCB director who called Tamim Iqbal an Indian agent.
The ICC has indicated it is unlikely to accept Bangladesh's demand for a venue change after a risk assessment report placed the threat perception at "low to moderate" for T20 World Cup matches in India.
The ICC has categorically rejected Bangladesh sports advisor Asif Nazrul's claims about security concerns for traveling to India for T20 World Cup 2026, terming his assertions "a complete lie."
Former Bangladesh cricketer Tamim Iqbal has been labelled a "proven Indian agent" by BCB member M. Najmul Islam after questioning the board's decision to demand T20 World Cup matches outside India.
