Widespread rumours seem to indicate that the ICC World T20 2014 may be shifted from Bangladesh to India as a result of political unrest in the country. The World Cup T20 is scheduled to begin from March 16, 2014 and take place across three different venues- Mirpur, Chittagong and Sylhet in Bangladesh.

A decision is expected to be taken at the Asian Cricket Council and the organisers of the tournament meet to be held at Dhaka and if confirmed, Kolkata and Ranchi are the front-runners to take over. The state cricket associations have been kept on alert, according to NDTV.

Pakistan have also threatened to pull out of the event if Bangladesh hosts it. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been monitoring the situation ever since the bomb blasts occurred outside of the hotel in Dhaka where the touring West Indian side lodged in.
