ICC Shifts Women's T20 World Cup From Trouble-torn Bangladesh To UAE
ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice: The highly-anticipated ninth edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup will now take place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) continuing to host the event. The ICC confirmed that the tournament will now be held by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in UAE because many countries have expressed concern over security because of travel advisories by their respective governments following political turmoil in the country.
“It is a shame not to be hosting the Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as we know the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have staged a memorable event,” ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement.
The reason behind the late change in plans by the International Cricket Council (ICC) is the state of unrest in Bangladesh with violence and cases of fatalities emerging every day after the takeover by a new government in the country.
