The ICC now requires Bangladeshi journalists to submit individual accreditation applications after Bangladesh withdrew from the T20 World Cup 2026 citing security concerns.

- Amzad Hossain said between 130 and 150 Bangladeshi journalists applied, but ICC sources noted fresh applications will be assessed individually rather than under a collective quota due to country limits.
- Bangladeshi journalists reported confusion after many accreditation applications were declined, observers warned this unprecedented rejection could harm Sri Lanka coverage, and the Bangladesh Cricket Board formally requested an explanation.
- An ICC official told NDTV that refusals followed Bangladesh government claims that India was `unsafe`, but the ICC internal assessment found no security risk and ICC sources say the process now limits approvals per country.
