T20 World Cup boycott concerns are intensifying as Bangladesh is expected to make a crucial decision today regarding its participation in the tournament scheduled to be held in India. The outcome could also influence Pakistan’s stance on the event.
Key Meeting Scheduled With Bangladesh Players
Sources say Bangladesh’s sports adviser, Asif Nazrul, is set to hold an important meeting with national team players at 2 pm Pakistan time. During the session, players will be briefed on the government’s official position related to travel and participation in the World Cup. Most Bangladeshi players are reportedly in favor of competing in the tournament.
Bangladesh Cricket Board to Inform ICC
After the meeting, the Bangladesh Cricket Board is expected to convey its final response to the International Cricket Council (ICC). The ICC has already confirmed that there will be no changes to the tournament schedule and has given Bangladesh the option to either play in India or withdraw from the event.
Pakistan Monitoring Situation Closely
If Bangladesh formally declines to travel, sources indicate that the Pakistan Cricket Board may also consider boycotting the T20 World Cup. Such a move could significantly impact the tournament, raising concerns over team participation and overall competition structure.
