KCA ready to host T20 World Cup in Thiruvananthapuram, but can ICC convince Bangladesh?

The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has expressed its readiness to host matches in the T20 World Cup should the ICC consider adding a venue to accommodate Bangladesh. The neighbouring country has refused to visit India; instead, they have proposed playing their matches in Sri Lanka following the controversial removal of Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL. Pakistan will play all their matches in Lanka due to diplomatic tension between the countries.
