The ICC will take a final decision on Bangladesh’s participation in the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup by January 21, following discussions with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), according to ESPNcricinfo.
The ICC has informed the BCB that a call must be made on whether Bangladesh will travel to India for the tournament, which is scheduled to be hosted by India.
If the BCB decides against sending the team to India, the ICC is expected to name a replacement side for the event. Based on current ICC rankings, Scotland are likely to be the team considered as a replacement.
The situation remains under discussion, with the ICC awaiting Bangladesh’s final position ahead of the January 21 deadline. (Newswire)
