No Info On Scotland Being Approached As Replacement; ICC To Decide What’s Best For Cricket: BCCI Sources Amid T20 WC Crisis
International Cricket Council: As the International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to make a final decision on Bangladesh’s participation in the 2026 men’s T20 World Cup on Wednesday, BCCI sources said they have no information about Scotland being approached as a replacement if Bangladesh refuses to travel to India, adding that the global governing body “will decide what it deems best for cricket”.
Bangladesh have reportedly refused to play their T20 World Cup matches in India, citing security concerns, and have asked the ICC to move their fixtures to Sri Lanka, the co-hosting nation. This follows the BCCI's direction for Kolkata Knight Riders to release pacer Mustafizur Rahman for IPL 2026 amid prevailing political tensions between the two countries.
It has also been learnt that Bangladesh suggested to the ICC that it be moved to Group B, swapping places with Ireland, which plays its group matches in Sri Lanka. However, the ICC has reportedly assured Ireland that no such move will be made.
