The International Cricket Council (ICC) held a video conference with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) following two letters sent by the BCB. During the meeting, the ICC urged Bangladesh to reconsider its decision not to participate in the upcoming World Cup in India. Despite the appeal, the BCB maintained its firm stance against playing in India. The meeting was attended by BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul, Vice Presidents Faruk Ahmed and Shakhawat Hossain, Cricket Operations Chairman Nazmul Abedin Fahim, and Chief Executive Officer Nizam Uddin Chowdhury Sujon.

In a press release, the BCB stated that the ICC’s request was made due to the limited time remaining before the tournament. However, the BCB reiterated its unchanged position, effectively ending the meeting without any resolution. Both parties agreed to meet again for further discussions and to reach a final decision.

The next meeting between the ICC and BCB is expected to determine the final outcome regarding Bangladesh’s participation and potential venue changes.
