ICC has included the Scotland team in place of Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup. The Indian media claims that the ICC will soon issue a statement regarding this.
The Scotland team was included in the World Cup after Bangladesh’s refusal, according to the Indian media.
Bangladesh had refused to play in India, citing security as justification.
The Bangladesh board had written in the letter that the ICC is showing double standards in the matter, the global organization should think about its member board.
According to Indian media, Bangladesh will suffer a loss of 325 crore Taka.
Earlier, ICC had given the Bangladesh Cricket Board a day’s time to take a final decision.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the ICC Board of Directors on Wednesday, where a majority of directors voted in favour of replacing Bangladesh with a replacement team.
Among the 15 directors present at the meeting, only the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) supported the BCB.
The meeting was called after the PCB wrote a letter to the ICC and other boards, supporting Bangladesh’s position to play matches in Sri Lanka, which is also the co-host of the tournament.
It is also worth remembering that under government pressure, India had removed Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL, whom Kolkata Knight Riders had bought for more than 9 crore, no reason was given for this.
