Fresh cracks have reportedly emerged within the Bangladesh Cricket Board following a dispute over venue-related concerns ahead of the T20 World Cup. According to reports, a second letter has now been sent to the International Cricket Council, highlighting internal disagreements and escalating tensions over the issue.
The controversy revolves around dissatisfaction within sections of the Bangladesh cricket administration regarding venue selection, preparation standards, and logistical arrangements for the tournament. Sources suggest that some senior officials believe Bangladesh’s concerns were not adequately addressed in earlier communications, prompting the decision to send a follow-up letter to the ICC.
This latest correspondence is said to reflect a lack of consensus within the BCB itself, with differing opinions on how strongly the board should challenge the ICC’s decisions. While one faction is pushing for a firmer stand to protect the team’s interests, others fear that prolonged confrontation could strain relations with world cricket’s governing body.
The venue row comes at a sensitive time for Bangladesh cricket, as the team prepares for a high-profile global tournament where conditions, scheduling, and facilities can significantly influence performance. Insiders claim that players and support staff have also expressed concerns informally, adding pressure on administrators to act decisively.
So far, the ICC has not made any public statement in response to the reported second letter. However, the situation has sparked debate within cricketing circles about governance, communication gaps, and the balance of power between national boards and the ICC.
As the T20 World Cup approaches, the unfolding disagreement raises questions about whether the issue will be resolved quietly through dialogue or escalate into a broader administrative standoff that could distract from the on-field action.
