Bangladesh will miss the T20 World Cup after choosing not to send its men's cricket team to India over security concerns. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requested the ICC to move their matches from India to Sri Lanka, but the demand was denied. As a result, Bangladesh's spots went to Scotland. Fans and experts in Dhaka show mixed feelings. Many support the government's decision to put safety first; others worry about the future of Bangladeshi cricket. Players privately expressed strong disappointment, saying, "We felt ready" and missing the tournament means losing chances to grow and earn. The BCB plans a local T20 event, the "Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup," with $200,000 in prize money to keep players active. Former cricketer Anamul Haque Bijoy said, "Sports should be above everything." Pakistan Cricket Board supports Bangladesh's stand, but officials deny any formal alliances. Meanwhile, diplomatic talks remain unclear, as government and BCB communication with ICC lacked coordination. This episode reveals how cricket, once a unifying force, is now caught in political crossfire between Bangladesh and India, leaving fans like Ziaul Haque Tanin heartbreakingly watching the World Cup from afar.
