“We communicated with our Army chief”- BCB chief executive officer

The International Cricket Council (ICC) now controls Bangladesh’s chances of hosting the Women’s T20 World Cup due to the collapse of the Awami League government and subsequent fall of the government. Regarding security assurance for the event, the BCB has written to General Waker-Uz-Zaman, the Chief of Staff of the Bangladesh Army. In order to evaluate other options, the ICC is currently trying to get a clear picture of whether holding the event in Bangladesh is feasible.

“We had communicated with them [the Army] but by that time the [interim] government had already been formed. Since it has been formed, they will place priority on it as required,” BCB chief executive officer Nizamuddin Chowdhury told The Daily Star.

“We have communicated with them and the sooner we get a response the better we will understand the situation. We had communicated with them very late yesterday [Thursday] and there was very little time for them to go through it,” he added.

The Women’s T20 World Cup A includes India, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand while Group B comprises Bangladesh, England, South Africa, West Indies and Scotland. The opening game sees South Africa playing against England with two top teams from both groups advancing to the semifinals. The venue for the final match is Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on October 20.
