BCB move to challenge ICC decision on T20 World Cup games hits procedural hurdle
The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s appeal to the ICC’s Dispute Resolution Committee seeking a review of the decision to host its T20 World Cup matches in India will not be heard, as the matter falls outside the panel’s jurisdiction. With Scotland kept on standby, the BCB may now consider approaching the Court of Arbitration for Sport as a last resort

A desperate Bangladesh Cricket Board has written to the Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) of ICC requesting it to overturn the governing body’s decision to hold the national men’s team’s T20 World Cup games in India, but its appeal won’t be heard as it is outside the remit of the sub-committee.
Even as the ICC has kept Scotland on stand-by, the BCB under Aminul Islam Bulbul, after being completely cornered, decided to use its last resort — approach the DRC headed by Englishman Michael Beloff (Kings Counsel).
“Yes, BCB has approached the DRC of ICC as it wants to exhaust all its options. If DRC rules against BCB, then the only body that can be approached is Court of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) in Switzerland,” a BCB source told PTI.
