The 2026 T20 Cricket World Cup was supposed to be a tournament for cricket fans around the world to celebrate together.

However, Bangladesh decided not to go to India to participate in the tournament due to security concerns and political tensions with India.

Bangladesh is worried that their players, staff, and fans might not be safe in India.

Previously, India's cricket organization also asked a Bangladeshi player to leave the Indian team due to security issues.

Bangladesh feels that if even one player cannot be guaranteed safety, then it is even harder to protect the entire national team and fans.

Recently, relations between Bangladesh and India have worsened, and Bangladesh's former prime minister went to India due to domestic issues.

Now, India is strict about issuing visas to Bangladeshis, and many Bangladeshi fans cannot go to India to watch the matches.

The Bangladesh government said they will not let their players and fans take risks.

Although the International Cricket Council said security issues can be resolved, Bangladesh insists on its decision.

This incident shows that sometimes sports competitions are also affected by politics.
