BCB Requests ICC to Move Bangladesh's T20 World Cup Games from India to Sri Lanka

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) to change their group in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.

They want to swap their group with Ireland so that they can play their matches in Sri Lanka instead of India.

Bangladesh is currently in Group C, which has matches scheduled in India, while Ireland is in Group B, which has matches in Sri Lanka.

The BCB is worried about the safety of their players, fans, and media in India.

The ICC is not sure if they can make this change because it might cause problems with the schedule.

Both sides are still talking about it.

The tournament starts on February 7, 2026.

Meanwhile, after a tense Under-19 World Cup match between India and Bangladesh, the players shook hands, resolving a potential drama.

The BCB clarified that the initial absence of a handshake was unintentional.
