Bangladesh cricketers may have to sit out the upcoming Pakistan Super League 2026 if security concerns are not adequately addressed according to Bangladesh’s state minister for youth and sports – Aminul Haque. The players are waiting formal guidance from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) before delivering any final verdict regarding their participation.
Haque informed Cricbuzz that that the government is currently prioritising the safety of players and any decision will be made after receiving official inputs from the BCB.
“Definitely our cricketers are not going if there is a security concern (in PSL),” Aminu said. “First BCB has to inform us about it (security concern) and afterwards we will take an official decision based upon our observation (following scrutiny from national agencies),” he said.

“If the BCB ensures us that there is no problem if our cricketers go there, in that case we don’t have any problem. They (BCB) have to ensure what the players want because we don’t want to discourage sports and we want everyone to play from their respective places,” he added. “The BCB should consult us about security purposes and everything, and if they can ensure that (everything is fine), in that case we can proceed.”
