News India Live, Digital Desk: We all know that Bangladesh cricket team has created its own identity in the last few years. They are called ‘Tigers’ because they have the power to defeat big teams. But now news is coming that this team may not be seen playing in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Yes, you heard it right! Why is ICC so angry? The matter is not about the game, but about the internal conditions of the cricket board. The rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC) are very strict. He clearly says that the government of any country should not interfere in its cricket board. The recent political turmoil and change of government in Bangladesh has also affected its cricket board (BCB). Many senior officials were removed. ICC feels that the board is not able to work independently. ICC has given ‘last warning’ to Bangladesh on this matter. So will it be canceled from the World Cup? If ICC feels that the situation does not improve, then it can suspend the Bangladesh Cricket Board. If this happens, the Bangladesh team will not be able to participate in the T20 World Cup. This news is no less than a nightmare for Bangladeshi fans. Just imagine, the tournament for which the players work hard for four years is lost just because of office politics! Whose luck will prevail? Now the biggest question is that if Bangladesh is out, then who will take its place? Here comes an interesting twist. If reports are to be believed, if Bangladesh is left out, then the benefit may not be given to any Asian country but to a European team. If we look at the mathematics of the qualifier round and ranking, then the emerging teams of Europe are standing in the line. This could be a ‘jackpot’ for teams like Italy or Scotland. That means someone’s loss and someone’s huge gain! At present, Bangladesh has very little time and the challenge is very big. Will they be able to save their place or will we get to see a new face in the World Cup? Only time will tell, but it is certain that the suspense has become very deep in the corridors of cricket.
