Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam on Monday (January 5, 2026) said that "we do not feel secure" in sending the national team to India for the T20 World Cup considering the current circumstances. "You know that we, along with all the directors of the cricket board, held two meetings before taking this decision and at this moment we do not feel secure sending our team to India to play the World Cup," Mr. Aminul said. "So we wrote a letter to the ICC, and in the letter we clearly stated what we wanted to say. Mr. Aminul said BCB's next step will depend on ICC's response. Bangladesh was scheduled to play three T20 World Cup matches in Kolkata and one in Mumbai.
