BCB Rejects ICC Deadline, Wants New T20 WC Venue

Bangladesh board rejects ICC’s Jan 21 deadline and demands an alternate venue.

The Editorial Team of Behind The Headlines reports the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has denied any January 21 ICC deadline and repeated its demand for an alternative venue in the ongoing T20 World Cup hosting row. The dispute is linked to venue readiness and administrative clarity, with BCB insisting the issue must be resolved fairly before teams and schedules are finalised.

This standoff could delay planning and create uncertainty for tournament logistics. If the ICC and stakeholders fail to agree soon, it may impact scheduling, travel plans, and fan confidence, forcing the ICC to take a stronger decision to protect the event’s smooth execution.
