Where to Watch ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in Bangladesh Live?

The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is yet to begin, but a major controversy involving the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the ICC has left the entire cricketing arena talking, with Bangladesh now set to sit out the tournament. The dispute arose from Bangladesh’s decision not to play its allotted matches in India, due to safety concerns of its players, staff, and travelling supporters.

The tension escalated after the high-profile release of Mustafizur Rahman, who is among the best T20 bowlers, from his IPL franchise, which was interpreted by Bangladeshi officials as part of a political agenda. Due to this controversy, another question arises whether Bangladesh will telecast the T20 World Cup 2026 or not. The Bangladesh government recently banned IPL's live streaming in the country and a similar step can be taken for the upcoming ICC event as well.

Where to Watch ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in Bangladesh?

The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 live streaming in Bangladesh will be available as there is no information about the broadcasting ban of the tournament. Although the Bangladesh cricket team has opted out of the competition, the cricket fans in the country will be able to watch the highly anticipated ICC event live in the country.

Which Team Will Replace Bangladesh in T20 World Cup 2026?

After Bangladesh’s request to relocate its matches was turned down, a new team is all set to take their place in the upcoming T20 World Cup. According to several reports, Scotland is all set to replace Bangladesh for this mega event now.

Scotland do not have much time to prepare for the event, however, it will be a huge event for them. On the other hand, it will be a huge loss for the players of Bangladesh, one of the best cricket teams in the world.

Earlier, BCB's authorities stated that the team would not travel to India under the current circumstances and confirmed that the final call would be made by the government based solely on security considerations.

In an attempt to find a middle ground, Bangladesh proposed that its World Cup fixtures be shifted to Sri Lanka, the tournament’s co-host, but the ICC turned down the request, stating that there was no risk in the host country and there have been securing reviews in India confirming the same, so there is no point in altering the schedule so close to the T20 World Cup.
