Key Highlights

  • Bangladesh are scheduled to face the West Indies, England, Italy, and Nepal, with three games listed at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, and one at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
  • How ICC would respondThe ICC has three realistic pathways, and timing will decide which one is viable.
  • Option one is a compromise: approve a venue switch for Bangladesh’s group matches to Sri Lanka without ripping up the tournament.
  • That preserves the 20-team format and contains the dispute in logistics.
  • Option two, if the ICC refuses and Bangladesh still decline to play their games in India, is to let the event run with “awarded” matches.
