The International Cricket Council has given Bangladesh until January 21 to confirm its participation in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup. The tournament will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has raised safety concerns about playing matches in India and has asked for games to be moved elsewhere. The ICC has refused to change the schedule or swap groups. It said independent security assessments found no specific threat in India. If Bangladesh withdraws, the ICC may name a replacement team. (PC: X)
