Bangladesh has responded strongly to reports of an ICC ultimatum over the 2026 T20 World Cup. Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul said the country will not accept “unreasonable pressure” to play in India. He said International Cricket Council has not formally warned Bangladesh about exclusion. Nazrul added that venue changes were allowed earlier in similar cases. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has held talks with the ICC. Reports say Scotland could replace Bangladesh if they pull out. The T20 World Cup begins on February 7. (PC: AFP)
