The claims of consultation with players over their decision not to play the T20 World Cup matches in India have fallen flat after the cricketers claimed they only got a message from government sports advisor Asif Nazrul, but there was no discussion about what to do.

Asif Nazrul had claimed that he had discussed the matter with the members of the national cricket team when he met the players at a hotel in Dhaka on Thursday. The players, a news report claimed, were only told that the national team would not travel to India for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and it was never meant to be a consultation, Telocom Asia Sport told in a report on Friday.
