Cricket is turning political in South Asia. Bangladesh has banned IPL broadcasts and threatened to boycott the T20 World Cup in India, citing “security concerns.” But the real spark? Star pacer Mustafizur Rahman being dropped from his IPL franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders. Dhaka sees it as a political slight, not a sporting decision. Now, with the World Cup weeks away, tensions are rising. Will Bangladesh play in India? Or will cricket deepen a growing rift?
