The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed interest in hosting Bangladesh’s matches in the 2026 T20 World Cup if Sri Lanka cannot provide venues. The proposal follows the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) decision not to play its scheduled matches in India due to security concerns after pacer Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from the Indian Premier League (IPL) over similar issues. Pakistani media outlet Geo Super reported that the PCB has formally informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) of its readiness to organize the games.
The BCB earlier wrote to the ICC, citing safety worries and requesting to play in Sri Lanka instead of India. The ICC has yet to announce a decision. PCB sources said Pakistan’s international-standard venues are fully prepared and highlighted its experience hosting major ICC events, including the 2025 Champions Trophy and the Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
Bangladesh’s withdrawal from India comes amid heightened tensions following protests in India over incidents in Bangladesh and the exclusion of Bangladeshi players from the IPL. The ICC’s response will determine whether Bangladesh’s matches are relocated to Sri Lanka or Pakistan.
