The Bangladesh government has initiated a formal investigation into the country's unexpected withdrawal from the ICC men's T20 World Cup, which took place in India from February 7 to March 8. A three-member committee has been appointed, led by Dr. AKM Oli Ullah, with members including former cricket captain Habibul Bashar and lawyer Faisal Dastagir. The committee is tasked with examining the decision-making process behind the withdrawal, which the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) attributed to security concerns. This decision followed a request from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for pacer Mustafizur Rahman to be released from his Indian Premier League (IPL) contract. Bangladesh's proposal to move its matches to Sri Lanka was rejected by the ICC, resulting in Scotland taking its place in the tournament. The committee is expected to complete its report within 15 working days.
