Danger looms over the World Cup, ICC in tension due to the situation in this country

T20 World Cup 2024: The International Cricket Council, which is already grappling with the alleged irregularities in the organization of the T20 World Cup 2024 in the US, is now facing a new problem. After the Men's World Cup in June, the ICC's eyes are on the Women's T20 World Cup, which is to start after about two and a half months. Although there is still a lot of time for the World Cup, but even before that, the threat of its postponement has started looming. The reason for this is the situation in the host country. Yes, the next Women's T20 World Cup is to be held in Bangladesh in October 2024, but these days the violent movement in this country has put the ICC in worry.

Tension due to agitation in Bangladesh

A total of 10 teams including India will clash for the T20 World Cup trophy between October 3 and 20 in Bangladesh. During this, a total of 23 matches will be played including the final. The matches of the tournament will be played in two venues, one of which is the capital Dhaka and this is currently the center of agitation in Bangladesh, in which many people have lost their lives. These circumstances also caught the attention of the ICC, which also discussed this issue. According to the report of Cricbuzz, Bangladesh Cricket Board officials raised this issue in the important meeting of the ICC held in Colombo.

The board informed the ICC officials and its member countries about the latest situation. ICC officials expressed concern about this, but due to still a lot of time left in the tournament, the council has not officially issued any statement about it at the moment. Quoting an official, the report said that the ICC is keeping an eye on the situation but the situation has improved in the last few hours.

More than 150 killed in violence

Students have been protesting in Bangladesh for the last few days. This movement is against reservation in government jobs, due to which college students have come out on the streets in different parts of the country. Especially in the country's capital, this movement has taken a more aggressive form, in which more than 150 people have died in clashes with the police. Due to this, the government has had to order the closure of colleges. Curfew has also been imposed in the capital and orders have been given to deploy the army and shoot at sight.
