I think Bangladesh or Ireland should have been in Group C and one of the Group C teams should have been in Group A.

There is any decision of ICC for Present Champion should with small teams. Because FIFA have one law before in football champion team automatically qualified on next world cup. But later FIFA corrected that law.

since bangladesh qualified for super 8 last T20 world cup while WIndies failed to qualify. Hence bangladesh were seeded and west indies were not seeded.

The reason for this is last time Banladesh qualified for super 8 and WI failed. So this time it has been assumed WI is weaker than Bangladesh.
