Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium: Amidst ongoing violence in Bangladesh, where people have been killed and protests happening on the streets, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has said they are monitoring the situation in the country which is scheduled to host Women’s T20 World Cup this year from October 3-20.

"We are closely monitoring the situation, but the event is still some time away. The situation appears to have improved over the last 24 hours," an ICC source, currently in Colombo for the ongoing annual conference, was quoted as saying in a report by Cricbuzz.

Ten teams will play 23 matches over 18 days of the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup at two venues - the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka and the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.
