Breakdown in cricket relations with Bangladesh rings alarm bells for India’s Olympic bid

• Concern raised over politicisation of sport

• Bangladesh pulled out of men's World T20 after row

Bangladesh's withdrawal from the men's T20 World Cup could have implications for India's 2036 Olympic bid amid concern at the International Olympic Committee over the potential politicisation of sport.

Bangladesh pulled out of next month's tournament last weekend after the International Cricket Council declined a request to move their group matches from India to the cohosts Sri Lanka, after a long-running political row triggered by Kolkata Knight Riders' decision to remove the Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman from their Indian Premier League squad.
