Dhaka: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has released an official statement clarifying its communication with the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding participation in the T20 World Cup in India.

The statement confirmed that the ICC has responded to BCB’s concerns about the team’s participation. BCB had requested the possibility of relocating Bangladesh’s matches, and the ICC reiterated that the team’s involvement in the tournament would be ensured without any obstacles.

The statement emphasized that reports in the media claiming that BCB issued an ultimatum are false. The ICC’s communications were misrepresented and taken out of context.

BCB further noted that the ICC has shown willingness to work collaboratively to address the board’s concerns and to consider all reservations raised by BCB in a constructive manner.
