Honest question.
Why are you the only person here who seems to be happy to trade honour for money?
There is a name for this noblest of professions by the way.

Not really. I would have supported the decision if it had been based on principle. Sadly, that wasn’t the case here.
Bangladesh suddenly raised security concerns right after their player was booted out from the IPL. How exactly did they assess the severity of the risk?
Did they send any security experts or consulting agencies to India to evaluate the situation? Was there any director level meeting between the host and the BCB? Did they take the players’ opinions and understand how they felt about the whole security issue?
The point is, there’s a proper process that should be followed to establish such claims. We can’t just make accusations out of thin air and expect everyone to believe them.
Why do you think big boards like the ECB, CA, or CSA voted against Bangladesh so strongly? Because Bangladesh failed to back up their claims with real research and credible evidence, and couldn’t prove their case in front of the ICC delegates and other board members.

We had some Afghan players in recent BPL. I don't know how I feel about it. Maybe they just get to play in IPL going forward

This is about principal more than honour.
Honour can sometimes be made to sound illogical, but this is about India being the Donald trump of cricket for way too long.
It was unrealistic and unsustainable from India to think they could make everyone else their play thing, it's a casual sadism and disregard for the dignity of the sport that is reflective of the wider culture, which perhaps does not encourage higher principles, just crass opportunism.
But if you want to administer a sport you have to have a base level of trust and equity, otherwise you are behaving as the opposite of what it means to be sporting.
Cricket once upon a time was s sport that valued dignity, respect and traditions more than any other perhaps, the Indians have slowly made this a distant memory and everything is just ipl, Bollywood and advertising revenue
ICC = INDIAN COMMUNAL CESSPIT

Why are you forging historical timelines like the trans-border barhadari do?
The threats were made to Mustafizur and KKR's owner before "their player was booted out from IPL".
"Hindu spiritual leader Jagadguru Swami Rambhadracharya called Shah Rukh Khan a “traitor” for hiring the Bangladeshi player. This also comes after another Hindu spiritual leader, Devkinandan Thakur, slammed Shah Rukh Khan for his actions, given the targeted atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. He also demanded that the cricketer’s appointment be revoked and that ₹9.2 crore in fees be paid to the families of the Hindu children who were murdered."
"Calling the Bangladeshis “enemies”, the Shiv Sena (UBT) said that if the star actor retains the player in the squad, he does not understand the nation’s sentiments. Highlighting that Pakistan and Bangladesh’s DNA are the same, the party said: “They are terrorising the country, and Shah Rukh Khan should use this time to show gratitude towards the country. Boycott these players; choose Indian players.”
"Due to recent developments going on all across, the BCCI has instructed the franchise Kolkata Knight Riders to release one of their players, Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh, from their squad," said BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia."
"Sanjay Nirupam of Shiv Sena also criticised Shah Rukh Khan and said, “For the last few months, the atrocities have hurt the sentiment of India. The Indian government needs to intervene in this. Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t want to get targeted, then he should remove [the player from the team].”
Also note that a security assessment was indeed made by BCB:
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced their intention to not travel to India for the T20 World Cup starting on February 7, "following a thorough assessment of the prevailing situation and the growing concerns regarding the safety and security of the Bangladesh contingent in India"."
These are extracts from The Hindu and Wisden.
Indians themselves made the threats and BCB acknowledged those threats in their assessment.
It is surprising that you try so hard to present some alternate version of events based on your own fabricated timeline.
You're an embarrassment to your countrymen, and I can assure you furthermore, even Indians will be wondering why such pathetic behaviour is on display. They don't need your help in turning into a pariah state, so why are you offering them your services?

Who's desperate to play in their domestic tournament? Your bull shitting doesn't stop huh? Anything to defend India huh?
If he remained unsold or contract terminated for valid cause according to contract, no one would have cared. If KKR didn't want him because of fan base's preference, then they wouldn't have gotten into a bidding war in the first place. BCCI also didn't have a problem drafting him. The problem started after Shiv Sena threat.
He was released because BCCI caved in to Shiv Sena demand to not play Bangladeshis in IPL and realized they cannot ensure his safety. Hence BCB position about security of players and supporters traveling to India is completely justified.
Your bootlicking is literally disgusting to read. Grow a spine.

And what pakistan is doing?
Clearly, this is about far more than cricket. It’s international dirty politics—acting like a “good, friendly boy” with whichever new government comes to power in Bangladesh just to maintain a good relationship with them.
This drama goes far beyond cricket. Not just now what happening beyond that cricket,
Anyways - I hope pakistan also boycott it.

You mean to say that PCB didn't show solidarity with BCB on this issue, egg them on to not play in India? Cause if they did, they very well knew that Pakistan will play in Sri Lanka. If they did support BCB against ICC, it will be a real life act of the post that you have quoted me. It will be pushing someone up the ladder and then taking it away.

Interesting article in the Times of India on this subject.
T20 World Cup 2026: ICC replaces Bangladesh with Scotland; all eyes on Pakistan now | Cricket News - The Times of India
Cricket News: NEW DELHI: After weeks of communication, suspense, and drama, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that Scotland will replace Banglad.timesofindia.indiatimes.com
The polite comments are even more interesting.
So it's a religious angle after all not a dispute over sports.
