Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed their withdrawal from the T20 World Cup 2026, citing government-issued security concerns about travelling to India. Despite multiple requests to relocate matches to Sri Lanka, the ICC's refusal left the BCB with no choice but to pull out.
Bangladesh's withdrawal from the 2026 T20 World Cup due to security concerns has sparked discussions on teams opting out of ICC events for similar reasons. It has happened multiple times in the past. Meanwhile, ICC replaced Bangladesh with Scotland for the forthcoming edition.
The ICC has officially confirmed that Scotland will replace Bangladesh in the 2026 T20 World Cup after Bangladesh withdrew, citing security concerns. Despite multiple discussions, the BCB missed the deadline for confirmation, and ICC determined no security threat to Bangladesh.
Pakistan's participation in the 2026 T20 World Cup is uncertain as the PCB awaits government instructions. If they decide to boycott, Uganda will replace them, just as Scotland replaced Bangladesh. Pakistan is in Group A, facing India, the USA, Netherlands, and Namibia.
Pakistan's participation in the 2026 T20 World Cup hinges on government instructions, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed. Naqvi criticised ICC's treatment of Bangladesh and emphasised that Pakistan has backup plans in place, but no country should dictate terms to another.
Bangladesh's exclusion from the 2026 T20 World Cup will lead to a major financial crisis for the BCB. Losses include the USD 500,000 participation fee, ICC's USD 27 million annual revenue share, sponsorship income, and potential bilateral series with India.
Bangladesh have been officially replaced by Scotland for the 2026 T20 World Cup after the ICC confirmed the decision on January 24. Scotland, ranked highest among non-qualifying teams, will take Bangladesh’s place in Group C, maintaining tournament logistics and schedule.
Bangladesh have refused to change their stance in the T20 World Cup row. They are refusing to travel to India for the mega event, citing security concerns. Scotland will most likely replace Bangladesh in the tournament, with the latter team facing action.
With every passing minute, Bangladesh's hopes to play in the T20 World Cup are ending fast. ICC are expected to announce Scotland as their replacement at any moment. With the dream over, Bangladesh cricketers are left distraught, reacting against BCB and their government.
Star New Zealand bowler Adam Milne has been ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 due to a hamstring injury that he sustained while playing in the SA20. In his place, the NZC named Kyle Jamieson as his replacement.
