Bangladesh T20 World Cup Row Escalates As Indian-Origin ICC Delegate Denied Visa: Report

After Bangladeshi fast bowler, Mustafizur Rahman, was removed from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ahead of IPL 2026, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refused to travel to India for the ICC T20 World Cup.
The board cited safety and security concerns for their players, and demanded their match venues be shifted to Sri Lanka instead.
No concrete decision has been made by the International Cricket Council (ICC) over this just yet, but discussions seem to be on-going. However, a new controversy has emerged with reports stating that an Indian-origin delegate of the apex body has been denied a Bangladesh visa, preventing him from attending talks aimed at resolving the dispute.
