"The unceremonious dumping of a star player like Mustafizur from the IPL defied logic and had hurt people, the country's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said in a statement explaining its decision. Bangladesh have also refused to play their matches of next month's Twenty20 (T20) World Cup in India, demanding that those be staged in Sri Lanka, co-host of the 20-team tournament."
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board's directors met in an emergency meeting on Sunday and confirmed their decision shortly afterwards. Following a thorough assessment of the prevailing situation and the growing concerns regarding the safety and security of the Bangladesh contingent in India and considering the advice from the Bangladesh Government, the board of directors resolved that the Bangladesh national team will not travel to India for the tournament under the current conditions, it said."
