The Bangladesh Cricket Board has accepted the ICC’s decision to remove the team from the T20 World Cup 2026. Bangladesh was dropped after refusing to travel to India, citing government security advice. The ICC rejected requests to shift matches to Sri Lanka or change group placement. Scotland has been named as Bangladesh’s replacement. BCB officials said all options were exhausted and no further appeal will be made. The board confirmed it will not seek arbitration or dispute resolution. An ICC security review found no specific threat, but Bangladesh maintained safety concerns for players and staff. The tournament will be held in India and Sri Lanka. (PC: India Today)
