Published on: Jan. 23, 2026, 8 p.m. | Source: Times Now
Bangladesh cricket might face a significant setback after their government decided to withdraw from the upcoming T20 World Cup in India due to security concerns, which many perceive as politically motivated. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requested a venue change, but the ICC rejected it, emphasising tournament integrity. This withdrawal jeopardizes the BCB's financial stability, as it relies heavily on ICC funding, estimated at USD 10–15 million annually. The decision not only impacts the board financially but also affects players who miss a crucial opportunity, highlighting the broader implications of their boycott., Cricket, Times Now
