Mark Butcher has said that Bangladesh's exit from the T20 World Cup must set a precedent for future global tournaments to protect the integrity of the game. "There have been a lot of pre-ceding events – not to this particular farrago – that have parallels," said Butcher. "Obviously, the India Champions Trophy issue with Pakistan and how that ended up being resolved with India playing matches in Dubai, including the final. Bangladesh were replaced by Scotland for the 2026 men's T20 World Cup after they refused to travel to India for the tournament, citing security concerns. The agreement also stated that all India-Pakistan matches at ICC events between 2024 and 2027 will be played at a neutral venue.
