Sports advisor holds meeting with cricketers in World Cup squad

The cricket world of the country is in a state of uproar over the T20 World Cup issue. Both Bangladesh and the ICC are adamant about their position. Bangladesh had earlier announced that they would not play on Indian soil. Despite the demand to move their match to Sri Lanka, the ICC's straightforward response was that if they do not play on Indian soil, another team will be added. Bangladesh has only today (Thursday) to take a final decision on this.

n the emerging situation, Youth and Sports Advisor Dr. Asif Nazrul will hold a meeting with the cricketers in the T20 World Cup team at a five-star hotel this afternoon. The decision to play on Indian soil or not, including their position on the World Cup issue, is expected to be discussed there. Earlier, the BCB president and a few others met with the Sports Advisor on Wednesday night.

Hours after the ICC rejected Bangladesh's request to move the venue, BCB President Aminul Islam has not lost hope. He believes that Bangladesh can still participate in the World Cup. He is optimistic that the ICC will change their mind and move the match from India.

Earlier on Wednesday, the ICC held a virtual meeting with member countries to find out the final decision on Bangladesh's position on not playing in the World Cup in India. Where, apart from Bangladesh, only Pakistan voted in favor of not wanting to play in India. That is, the rest of the position was against Bangladesh. As a result, even the PCB's support could not sway the ICC's position. The ICC governing body has given Bangladesh another 24-hour deadline to inform them of their decision. At the same time, the organization also said that there is no reason to worry about security in India.
