"Government minister outlines three points that would heighten security concerns for Bangladesh in India"
Bangladesh sports adviser Asif Nazrul has raised serious concerns over playing 2026 T20 World Cup matches in India, pointing to an ICC security team's assessment. The report flags heightened risks if Mustafizur Rahman is selected or certain political events unfold.
Three Key Security Triggers
Nazrul outlined three points escalating threats: including Mustafizur, ongoing political tensions, and fan-related issues. Bangladesh has communicated twice with the ICC, emphasizing these unfeasible conditions for matches in India. With venues like Chennai floated as options amid BCB-BCCI standoffs, the Tigers remain firm.
This development adds intrigue to the tournament, especially after KKR's release of Mustafizur. As preparations heat up, Bangladesh eyes neutral venues like Sri Lanka or UAE to ensure player safety.
