The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has been informed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) that the national team will not be permitted to participate in the upcoming Cricket World Cup. This decision follows the BCB's communication to the Bangladesh government on Thursday, stating that it sought permission to travel to India for the tournament scheduled to begin on February 7.
In its correspondence with the ICC, the BCB also expressed its intent to refer the issue to the ICC's Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC). The specific grounds for this referral remain undisclosed. The DRC is an independent panel convened by the ICC to mediate and resolve various disputes, including those involving member boards and the governing body itself.
