In a shocking turn of events regarding Bangladesh's T20 World Cup debacle, a report has surfaced indicating that players were allegedly not ‘consulted’ about the Cricket Board (BCB)’s choice to withdraw from the prestigious tournament. According to a report by Cricbuzz, the 'conversation' between the players and the BCB's Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul was merely a 'formality' in practice. The players had hoped that a significant discussion might alter the 'rigid' position of the BCB and Nazrul, but the result of the meeting had already been predetermined. If the ICC fails to accommodate us, it will be a significant loss for world cricket and a failure for the host country," he said.
