The ICC on Monday indicated that it is unlikely to accept Bangladesh’s demand for a change of venue for its T20 World Cup matches in India after an assessment report of the country’s security concerns placed the threat perception at “low”.
As per ICC sources, the world body’s risk assessment report does not flag any specific or direct threat to the Bangladesh team if it participates in the tournament starting February 7.
It also contradicts claims made by Bangladesh sports ministry advisor Asif Nazrul that Mustafizur Rahman’s inclusion in the team would contribute to the overall threat. Bangladesh are due to play four league stage matches in India.
