Judgment day for Bangladesh (Photo: PTI)

T20 World Cup 2026: Today is the day of decision for Bangladesh cricket. Bangladesh Cricket Board and the government there have to decide whether they will send their team to India to play in the T20 World Cup or not. If Bangladesh still remains firm on its stand, then ICC will take a decision to exclude it from the T20 World Cup. It is not known yet which of these two decisions is going to be implemented. But, before that there has definitely been a stir in Bangladesh. After meeting ICC and giving 24-hour ultimatum, Bangladesh government has now scheduled a meeting with its cricketers.

Government's sports advisor will meet the players

It is reported that Asif Nazrul, Sports Advisor to the Bangladesh Government, has called Hotel Continental in Dhaka to meet all the players who have been selected for the T20 World Cup 2026. This meeting is going to be held at 3 pm and is also special considering the decision to play or not play in the T20 World Cup 2026.

What is the meaning of meeting with players?

The question is why has the Bangladesh government organized a meeting with the cricketers selected for the T20 World Cup 2026? One reason for this could be that perhaps the government wants to know the opinion of the players on this issue. Secondly, the government also wants to make its opinions and views known to the players. She wants to tell what they are thinking? Overall, it is believed that this meeting with Bangladesh Government's Sports Advisor Asif Nazrul at Hotel Continental is going to be held to find a solution to the problem standing in front.

Also met BCB officials before the players

There is also news that before this meeting with the players, the President and Directors of Bangladesh Cricket Board also had a meeting with Asif Nazrul, the sports advisor selected by the Bangladesh Government, on the night of 21 January. This meeting took place at the sports advisor's house. Overall, there is complete panic in Bangladesh after the final 24-hour ultimatum given by ICC.

Bangladesh has suffered a crushing defeat on this demand

Earlier, ICC conducted voting on Bangladesh's demand to change the venue, in which Bangladesh Cricket Board lost by 2-14. Both he and Pakistan themselves voted in favor of Bangladesh. The boards of other teams voted in support of India. Only after this, ICC gave an ultimatum of 24 more hours to Bangladesh and asked them to explain to their government otherwise another team will get a chance in their place. If Bangladesh is out of the T20 World Cup, then Scotland can play the T20 World Cup.
