Litton Das claims BCB did not consult players on World Cup boycott

Bangladesh T20 captain Litton Das has stated that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) did not consult players prior to their withdrawal from the 2026 T20 World Cup in India. Das characterized a January meeting with government officials as a "media stunt" rather than an actual consultation. He noted that BCB's security concerns were dismissed by the ICC, which found no credible threats. Das emphasized that all players expressed a desire to participate in the tournament, suggesting that the decision was imposed on them. As a result of the withdrawal, Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland in the event.
