More scheduling drama looms for cricket's ICC ahead of the men's T-20 World Cup starting next month in India and Sri Lanka

Bangladesh are refusing to travel to India for the tournament due to strained political relations between the two countries.
They're due to play three group games in Kolkata and one in Mumbai.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board has asked the ICC to move their matches to a venue "outside of India".
The stand-off follows a similar script to last year's Champions Trophy held in Pakistan, where eventual winners India played all of their matches in the UAE due to security concerns.
