By Mohamed Bahaa The International Cricket Council (ICC) is currently considering alternative venues for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, originally schedule
The International Cricket Council is currently considering alternative venues for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, originally scheduled to take place in Bangladesh from October 3-20. The potential new locations under consideration are the United Arab Emirates , India, and Sri Lanka. This contingency plan has emerged due to escalating political turmoil in Bangladesh, which has resulted in several fatalities and a shift in governmental leadership.
The ICC released a statement on Monday, stating that it is closely monitoring the situation in collaboration with the Bangladesh Cricket Board , local security forces, and independent security consultants. The statement emphasized that “the safety and well-being of all participants" remain the ICC's primary concern.
Meanwhile, the BCB has postponed the departure of Bangladesh's 'A' cricket team to Pakistan for a series with the Shaheens by 48 hours. This decision follows the temporary closure of Dhaka airport on Monday evening, adding further uncertainty to travel plans. “The BCB has confirmed to the PCB their men's 'A' cricket team's departure for Islamabad has been delayed by 48 hours due to unforeseen circumstances,” read a statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday.
