Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul made an unannounced visit to Pakistan on Sunday amid ongoing tensions surrounding the T20 World Cup. In Lahore, he met Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi and later joined a meeting with the International Cricket Council (ICC). After concluding discussions the same night, Aminul departed from Lahore, where Naqvi personally saw him off at the airport.

The visit followed Bangladesh’s exclusion from the T20 World Cup on January 24 after refusing to play in India, with Scotland replacing them in the tournament. On February 1, Pakistan announced a boycott of its World Cup match against India, prompting ICC deputy chairman Imran Khwaja to travel to Lahore for talks with the PCB. Sources indicate that Pakistan has now set three conditions for reversing its boycott decision, agreeing to face India only if those demands are met.

The meetings in Lahore reflect ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve disputes that have disrupted preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
