Is Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup 2026 Live Streaming Online and Telecast Available in India?
As Bangladesh sits out of the T20 World Cup 2026, the BCB has launched the domestic "Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup" to keep its stars active. While the tournament is being broadcast extensively in Bangladesh, Indian fans currently face limited options for official live streaming and telecast.
Following the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) decision to withdraw from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 due to security concerns in India, the board has swiftly launched a replacement domestic tournament: the Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup. The short-format competition, featuring three star-studded teams, began on 5 February 2026 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

Bangladesh T20 Cup Format
The Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup features three teams competing in a single round-robin format, with the final scheduled for 9 February. The tournament aims to maintain the "indomitable" spirit of Bangladesh cricket despite their World Cup absence. The BCB has introduced the Impact Player rule for this tournament, mirroring the tactical flexibility seen in the IPL, to help players prepare for modern T20 dynamics.
Why is Bangladesh T20 Cup Happening?
The tournament was created as a "strategic response" after Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland in the 2026 T20 World Cup. The BCB’s refusal to travel to India for the marquee event meant the national team faced a significant gap in their playing calendar. By organising the Odommo Cup, the board ensures that the country’s elite talent remains match-ready and competitive during the World Cup window.
