Nazmul Hossain, speaking openly about the impact of the World Cup controversy, said that the ongoing controversy surrounding the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is mentally disturbing him. Bangladeshi cricketers are having sleepless nights due to uncertainty surrounding their participation in the World Cup. The BCB has threatened to withdraw from the upcoming global tournament if their matches are not moved out of India.

He said, "First of all, if you look at our World Cup results, we have never played consistently good cricket. Last year, we played well, but we couldn't capitalize on it. You'll see that something or the other happens before every World Cup. I can say this from my experience of three World Cups: it has an impact."
