The ICC's decision to replace Bangladesh with Scotland in the T20 World Cup 2026 hasn't ended the controversy. Multiple Bangladeshi media outlets have reported that the sport's top governing body has now decided to reject the accreditation applications of their journalists. With Bangladesh publicly taking a stand against the ICC's decision not to shift their T20 World Cup matches to Sri Lanka, their journalists have reportedly been 'barred' from fulfilling media responsibilities at the tournament, which is due to be held in India and Sri Lanka from 7 February.
