DHAKA: (Jan 21) Bangladesh captain Litton Das said he is “not sure” whether his country would be competing in next month’s T20 World Cup amid the prolonged tussle over the team’s refusal to play its games in India.
Bangladesh have declined to travel to India citing security concerns after pacer Mustafizur Rahman’s ouster from the IPL on BCCI instructions. The diplomatic ties between the two countries are also tense right now due to attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
“If we had known who our group opponents were (in the World Cup) or which country we were going to, that would have helped,” Das was quoted as saying by ‘ESPNCricinfo’ after his franchise Rangpur Riders’ exit from the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Tuesday.
