Two ICC officials held a meeting with BCB office-bearers in a bid to find resolution on the issue. The BCB, in a statement following the deliberations, said: “Among other points, the possibility of moving Bangladesh to a different group as a means of facilitating the matter with minimum logistical adjustments was discussed.” There was no immediate comment from ICC.

“During the discussions, the BCB reiterated its formal request to the ICC to relocate Bangladesh’s matches to Sri Lanka. The Board also shared the Bangladesh Government’s views and concerns on safety and security of the team, Bangladeshi fans, media and other stakeholders.
