Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: According to sources, the ICC will not accept Bangladesh's demands regarding the World Cup. There is considerable tension surrounding whether Bangladesh will participate in the T20 World Cup in India. Significantly, ICC Chairman Jay Shah is scheduled to meet with BCCI officials. Jay Shah will hold the meeting with Indian board officials during the first India-New Zealand ODI match in Vadodara on Sunday. It is believed that the meeting will discuss alternative arrangements if Bangladesh ultimately refuses to play in India. Bangladesh claims it is not possible to play the World Cup in India due to security concerns and has already written two letters to the ICC. In response to the first letter, Jay Shah's ICC stated that a last-minute venue change is not possible and that there are no security issues in India. It is heard that the ICC will give the same response to the Bangladesh Cricket Board regarding the second letter. The ICC's argument is that the BCB is only verbally mentioning security problems but has not provided any logical reasons. It is heard that the ICC has more or less decided to reject the demands of Bangladesh's second letter as well. In this context, the meeting between the ICC Chairman and the Indian board officials naturally raises the question: are they considering holding the World Cup without Bangladesh? It is believed that the picture may become clearer after Sunday's meeting. The top ICC official may instruct the BCCI to prepare for the World Cup assuming Bangladesh will participate. And if the BCB remains adamant, the discussion may also include how the World Cup can be held without them. Of course, all of this is speculation. The T20 World Cup is scheduled for February-March in India. One thing is more or less certain: the ICC will not bow to pressure from Bangladesh. In that case, the schedule for Bangladesh's matches will not be changed. If Bangladesh does not field a team on the match day, they will not receive any points. That is, it will be considered a walkover, and the other teams will be awarded points as winners. Earlier, in the 2003 World Cup, England gave a walkover after refusing to travel to Zimbabwe. Another possibility is that if Bangladesh withdraws, another team will be included. For example, when Australia did not participate in the 2016 Under-19 World Cup, Ireland was included in their place.
