As anticipation grows for the Women’s T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in Bangladesh this October, there are mounting concerns regarding the security situation in the host country. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has expressed caution due to the current political instability in Bangladesh, which has been marked by violent protests and an uncertain future.
Asif Mahmud Bhuiyan Sajib, the adviser to the Youth and Sports Ministry of the Interim Government, has voiced optimism about the event’s successful hosting in Bangladesh. Sajib, who is also a prominent figure in the anti-discrimination student movement, has pledged that the Ministry will take every necessary step to ensure the World Cup proceeds as planned.
In an interview with a local daily newspaper, Sajib emphasized the significance of the event for the country’s international image. “I have initiated preparations now,” Sajib said. “We are hopeful that the Women’s T20 World Cup will remain in Bangladesh. If circumstances were to force a relocation, it would severely damage our national reputation during this crucial period.”
