Bangladesh’s decision to boycott the T20 World Cup has led to a major backlash from the International Cricket Council (ICC), which has denied accreditation to all Bangladeshi journalists. According to sources, even Bangladeshi journalists based in Sri Lanka and India have not received accreditation. The ICC has maintained that it will keep its options open, even if Bangladesh participates in the World Cup.
In a statement, Chairman of the Media Committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Amzad Husain confirmed that no Bangladeshi journalists have received accreditation. He said that around 130-150 Bangladeshi journalists had applied for accreditation, but all of their applications have been rejected. Husain also revealed that some journalists who had previously received accreditation had their credentials revoked later on.
The move by the ICC has sparked outrage in Bangladesh, with sports journalists’ organizations calling for a unified stance against the cricket governing body. The ICC accredits journalists from associate member countries, even if their teams do not participate in the tournament. In response, the Bangladesh sports journalists’ organizations have announced plans to develop a strategy against the ICC.
Meanwhile, the focus has shifted to the Bangladesh cricket team’s preparations for the World Cup. The team’s captain, Tamim Iqbal, has expressed his excitement about the tournament and has praised the team’s young players, who he believes will play a key role in Bangladesh’s World Cup campaign.
