Bangladesh on Thursday reiterated that the country’s national men’s team wants to play the T20 World Cup but won’t travel to India to do so. BCB president Aminul Islam and Sports Advisor Asif Nazrul had a high-level meeting with the Bangladesh cricketers and said in a press conference after that they want to play the World Cup in Sri Lanka.
