The International Cricket Council (ICC) has told the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to inform the government that if Bangladesh continues to refuse to travel to India to play its matches in the 2026 T20 World Cup, then they will be replaced by another team at the tournament, according to a report by ESPN Cricinfo.
That decision was followed by a vote, where the majority of the ICC Board was in favour of having a replacement, the ESPN Cricinfo report says.
BCB has been given one more day to come back to the ICC on its stance on playing in India, the report claims.
If that is the case, then Scotland is likely to replace Bangladesh in Group C at the World Cup. Scotland had failed to qualify for the 2026 T20 World Cup, having finished behind Netherlands, Italy and Jersey at the European Qualifier, according to ESPN Cricinfo.
