DHAKA: Bangladesh will not travel to India to play in next month’s T20 World Cup, its cricket board said Thursday, a day after the game’s governing body rejected the country’s plea to shift its games to Sri Lanka.
“Our only demand is to play the World Cup — but not in India,” Bangladesh Cricket Board President Aminul Islam Bulbul told reporters, effectively ruling out their participation in the tournament.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
