However, in the absence of any credible or verifiable security threat to the Bangladesh national team in India, ICC has announced the decision. Scotland has been called up to take Bangladesh’s place in Group C, joining England, Italy, Nepal and the West Indies. Reacting to the decision, Ex Indian Cricketer took a dig at the team and stated that, ‘No one will miss Bangladesh in the World Cup’.
