New Delhi, Pretr. After the withdrawal of Bangladesh, ICC can approve the name of Scotland as the new team on Saturday. ICC Chairman Jay Shah is currently present in Dubai and an official announcement of Bangladesh's withdrawal from the World Cup is also possible. Bangladesh was placed in Group C in the tournament, which includes England, West Indies, Nepal and Italy.
At the same time, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has written a letter to the ICC's Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC), demanding to reverse the decision of the Governing Council to hold the national men's team's T-20 World Cup matches in India, but this appeal will not be heard, because this matter is beyond the jurisdiction of the sub-committee.
BCB turned to DRC
After being completely surrounded, the BCB led by Aminul Islam Bulbul approached ICC's DRC as the last option. The chairman of this committee is Michael Bellaf (King's Council) of England.
A BCB source said on condition of anonymity that yes, BCB has approached DRC because it wants to try all its options. If the DRC rules against the BCB, then the only forum left would be the Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Bangladesh does not want to come to India due to security reasons
Earlier, Asif Nazrul, an advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh and the Sports Ministry and known for his anti-India stance, had announced that the Bangladesh team would not travel to India due to security reasons.
This statement came at a time when veteran fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from the Kolkata Knight Riders team on the instructions of BCCI. If we look at the scope and authority of the DRC, it becomes clear that it has no authority to hear appeals against any decision of the ICC Board of Directors.
Players stuck between government and board
The ICC Board of Directors, after an independent security assessment, voted with an overwhelming majority of 14-2 in favor of hosting Bangladesh's matches in India. In that assessment the security threat was described as low to moderate. Despite this, Nazrul said that this decision has to be taken not by BCB but by the government.
In accordance with Article 1.3 of the DRC's 'Jurisdiction and Authority', the Committee shall not act as an appellate body against decisions of the ICC or any decision-making body constituted thereunder. An ICC board source said Bangladesh could approach the DRC but as per the rules the matter cannot be heard as the committee does not have the authority to hear appeals against decisions of the Board of Directors.
ICC members very angry with Bulbul
It is also understood that ICC President Jay Shah has returned to Dubai from Namibia (Under-19 World Cup) and a formal decision regarding the possible choice of Bangladesh will be announced by Saturday. According to sources, ICC board member Aminul Islam is very angry with Bulbul.
The reason for this resentment was the press conference held by the Bangladesh government before formally informing the ICC. A source said that the ICC is not of much concern to Asif Nazrul, but Bulbul should not have been allowed to hold a press conference without informing the ICC.
