  The Odommo T20 Cup was organised after a historic impasse between the BCB and the International Cricket Council (ICC). Bangladesh declined to participate in the T20 World Cup 2026 (co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka) after the ICC refused a request to move their group-stage matches from India to Sri Lanka due to security concerns. How the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Schedule Looks After Scotland Take Bangladesh’s Spot: Check Full Updated Fixtures.

As a result, Scotland replaced Bangladesh in the World Cup. The BCB has invested approximately Tk 2.5 crore in prize money and fees for the Odommo Cup to ensure the national players remain competitive during the global tournament window.
