Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi: Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi has asked Bangladesh to travel to India to play their matches in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, telling them that India is a very safe country and not to politicise the issue.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has sought relocation of their matches from India, claiming security concerns after the BCCI asked Kolkata Knight Riders to release Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rehman from its squad for the upcoming IPL.

The ICC Board has rejected their demand but the BCB on Thursday insisted that there was no change in their stand on the matter of travelling to India for T20 World Cup and accused the ICC of double standard as the sport's governing body had accepted a similar request from BCCI after its refused to send the men's team to Pakistan for the 2025 Champion Trophy there.
