Bangladesh Cricket Board president Aminul Islam stated the board doesn't feel secure sending their national team to India for the T20 World Cup amid current circumstances. The statement follows BCB's formal request to the International Cricket Council to shift Bangladesh's T20 World Cup matches out of India. Bangladesh was scheduled to play three matches in Kolkata and one in Mumbai. This strong move was triggered by BCCI instructing Kolkata Knight Riders to release pacer Mustafizur Rahman from his IPL contract. Aminul told reporters the next steps depend on ICC's response to their venue change request, marking an unprecedented escalation in cricket relations between India and Bangladesh. (PC: PTI)
