T20 World Cup: Bangladesh will not play matches in India following IPL controversy
Bangladesh will not participate in their T20 World Cup matches in India due to growing bilateral tensions, following the release of bowler Mustafizur Rahman by his IPL team. The Bangladesh Cricket Board cited player safety concerns and has requested the International Cricket Council to relocate their games to Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh will not play their T20 World Cup matches in India after Mustafizur Rahman was released by his Indian Premier League team amid growing tensions between the countries, reported Reuters quoting Bangladesh's sports adviser Asif Nazrul on Sunday.
"The board said that where a Bangladesh cricketer can't play in India despite being contracted, the entire Bangladesh cricket team can't feel safe to go to the World Cup," Nazrul had said.
"I have also instructed the board to request Bangladesh World Cup games to be held in Sri Lanka."
Following directions from the Board of Control for Cricket, Kolkata Knight Riders said on Saturday they had released the Bangladesh bowler.
Bangladesh are scheduled to play three Twenty20 World Cup matches in Kolkata next month, with the February 7-March 8 tournament being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
"Bangladesh will not go to India to play the World Cup. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has taken this decision today," reported Reuters quoting Nazrul.
Last month, hundreds protested near Bangladesh's High Commission in New Delhi after Hindu factory worker Dipu Chandra Das was beaten and set on fire in Bangladesh's Mymensingh district by a crowd that accused him of making derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad.
A total of 12 people were arrested in connection with his death.
The incident worsened relations between India and its neighbour, with ties already strained after Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to New Delhi following protests against her.
After Mustafizur's release on Saturday, the BCB had held an emergency meeting and were planning to write to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to relocate their matches and raise concerns about player safety.
Last year, the ICC allowed India to play Champions Trophy matches in the United Arab Emirates due to soured relations with hosts Pakistan.
Bangladesh are due to play West Indies, England and Italy in Kolkata before ending the group stage against Nepal in Mumbai.
