Introduction

Bangladesh cannot play in the 2026 T20 World Cup. The cricket board of Bangladesh and the ICC had a big fight.

Main Body

Bangladesh wanted to play matches in Sri Lanka. They did not want to play in India because they felt unsafe. The ICC said no. Now Scotland will play instead of Bangladesh. Mustafizur Rahman lost his place in a big team in India. This made the fight worse. The leaders of the two countries are angry and do not speak. Shakib Al Hasan is a famous player. He says the government made a big mistake. He is sad because the people cannot watch the games. He also has problems because of politics.

Conclusion

Bangladesh is not in the World Cup. The teams might play together again in August or September.

💡 The 'Not' Power

In English, to say 'no', we often use not. This changes a 'yes' sentence into a 'no' sentence.

From the story:

  • Bangladesh is not in the cup. → (They are outside the cup).
  • They did not want to play. → (They said no to playing).

How to use it:

  • Subject + be (am/is/are) + not →\rightarrow I am not sad.
  • Subject + did + not + action →\rightarrow He did not speak.

🌍 Place Words

Look at how we talk about locations in the text:

  • In India / In Sri Lanka →\rightarrow (Inside a country).
  • Instead of Bangladesh →\rightarrow (One thing replaces another).

Quick Tip: Use in for cities, countries, and big areas.
