The International Cricket Council: The World Cricketers' Association (WCA) has expressed deep concern following Bangladesh’s withdrawal from the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 after the International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) request to shift its matches from India to Sri Lanka.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday announced that Scotland will replace Bangladesh in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 after the BCB refused to participate in the tournament per the published match schedule.

In a statement from WCA chief executive Tom Moffat, the global players’ body termed the development 'a sad moment' for international cricket, highlighting the absence of Bangladesh as a significant loss to the tournament, the players, and the fans.
