A top sport official has cast doubts over Bangladesh’s participation in the T20 World Cup, saying his country will not back down to “unreasonable coercion” and play their matches in India despite security concerns.

“We have logically requested a change of venue for valid reasons,” Asif Nazrul, youth and sports adviser in the Bangladesh interim government, told the state-run BSS news agency late on Tuesday.
