Bangladesh has refused to play its T20 World Cup group matches in India, deepening an already strained bilateral relationship. Dhaka’s interim government rejected the International Cricket Council’s decision to keep the fixtures in India, citing security concerns despite no credible threat. Bangladesh sought to relocate matches to Sri Lanka but was overwhelmingly rejected by the ICC board, with only Pakistan’s support. Today, Bangladesh stood firm and announced it will not travel to India, even though players were reportedly willing. The move could see Scotland replace them. The dispute highlights how politics is now bleeding into sport, at the expense of fans and players alike.
