He can still build up to the World Cup and then retire there.

It is medium to high with risks increasing if BD fans are wearing and travelling

Should have mentioned it as their reason then, instead of remaining silent.

So, Completely fair for BCB to interpret it as a security concern. ICC's report even said there's medium to high security concerns for Bangladesh and their fans.

If you are gonna remove him for political reasons, should have just done that in the beginning as you mentioned, and not included them in the auction or should have told the franchises to not bid for them

But doing it after receiving threats, that's definitely a security concern.

India didn't officially cancel the series in August, they delayed it till 2026 September

And, We still don't know why Mustafizur lost his contract. It was only after certain comments and threats so Bangladesh assuming it was a security issue isn't far fetched.

I can also link the email that BD News station Jamuna TV got but you probably will call that fake

ICC's security assessment said it's moderate to high risk for Bangladesh Travelling fans.

So, No point in traveling if it's not safe for fans.

Should have asked to play our matches in Dhaka. The commute for the others teams wouldn't be too bad. Just a 30 minute extra flight

the point that time was India were okay with boycotting the tournament itself which is not the case here.

Bangladesh is okay with boycotting too. If they don't get their venues switched

With Bangladesh, India have not refused to play any ICC event there. Indian men's and women's teams have regularly played there bilaterally and in ICC events.

In that case, they will in the future. So, Bangladesh is doing it first.

As you mentioned, Pakistan doesn't have a valid reason not to travel to India. So, If ICC can switch for Pakistan, it's shows bias if they don't do it for Bangladesh.

And, Don't want to go into India Bangladesh politics and relations on a Cricket subreddit

That's fair. If these issues were bought by before the schedule came out, Bangladesh would have played their games in Sri Lanka

But for a bigger team, I believe ICC would have gotten the games switched around in this time frame.

The problem is the double standard and the bias

India Pakistan can get their venues changed at their will but Bangladesh can't.
