Bangladesh’s latest attempt to move its T20 World Cup games from India to Sri Lanka has failed at the ICC Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC), the Press Trust of India reports.
On Jan 21, Bangladesh lost by a 14–2 margin in a vote at the ICC, leaving them with no option but to travel to India to play in next month’s showcase event.
PTI said Bangladesh then approached the DRC to overturn that decision.
However, under clause 1.3 of its own rules, the DRC has no authority to act as an appellate body against decisions taken by the ICC or any ICC-approved committee.
As a result, the DRC rejected Bangladesh’s application, saying ICC regulations placed the matter outside its jurisdiction.
PTI added that an announcement on which country will get the slot instead of Bangladesh could come on Saturday.
