The political instability and violence in Bangladesh has finally affected cricket as well and now the country is going to lose a major ICC event. The Women's T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Bangladesh from October 3, but now it is almost certain that it will be held in another country. According to reports, the ICC has decided to hold this tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) instead of Bangladesh and it will be confirmed soon. The T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Bangladesh from October 3 to October 20.

A total of 10 teams including India will participate in this World Cup and everyone is eagerly waiting for it.

Then suddenly in the month of July, a student movement started in Bangladesh against the government's decision regarding reservation, which gradually turned into a violent protest and then the Bangladesh Army gave an ultimatum to Prime Minister Hasina to resign. Hasina left the country along with her post and since then violence has been raging continuously throughout Bangladesh, where minorities including Hindus are being targeted.

Opinion formed in ICC meeting

Since then, there were clouds of crisis over organizing the tournament in Bangladesh and the ICC was keeping an eye on the situation.

During this time, possibilities of organizing the tournament in India, UAE, Sri Lanka were being explored, while Zimbabwe also expressed its desire to organize it. However, BCCI secretary Jay Shah had ruled out the possibility of organizing the tournament in India, after which the possibilities of UAE became stronger.

According to Cricbuzz's report, this topic was discussed in the ICC's virtual board meeting on Tuesday, August 20, and everyone expressed concern about it and said that it would not be right to organize the World Cup in Bangladesh in the current situation.

The tournament's host Bangladesh Cricket Board has also agreed to change the venue and the chances of organizing it in the UAE have increased. However, it is clear that despite the venue shifting, the Bangladeshi board will remain its official host.

Healy also raised questions

Recently, defending champion Australia's captain and veteran batsman Alyssa Healy had also termed the organisation of the tournament in Bangladesh as wrong. Healy had said that in such a situation, it would not be right to put the burden of the tournament on Bangladesh and it would be wrong to snatch the resources from the local people at such a time.

She had also said that in the current circumstances, Bangladesh is facing more important challenges than cricket.
