Bangladesh Board Accuses ICC of Unfair U19 World Cup Logistics After Early Exit

BCB says it paid for internal flights to spare the squad long bus trips.

Overview

  • BCB official Habibul Bashar alleged last-minute venue and schedule changes forced back-and-forth travel between Masvingo, Harare and Bulawayo.
  • The board said it asked the ICC to move warm-up fixtures to cut travel but received no accommodation before the tournament began.
  • Bangladeshi reports said the ICC restricted domestic flights, pushing teams onto buses for lengthy routes, including up to nine hours between Harare and Bulawayo.
  • BCB stated it funded internal flights for the India and New Zealand group matches to reduce fatigue from scarce direct connections and long road journeys.
  • Bangladesh were eliminated after a Super Six defeat to England, and the coverage carried no ICC rebuttal to the complaints.
