Nigar-Jahanara express disappointment as T20 WC out from Bangladesh Agency The 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup scheduled for October has been moved out of Bangladesh and will instead take place in the United Arab Emirates, the International Cricket Council announced on Tuesday. The decision to change the venue follows unrest in Bangladesh that led to the overthrow of prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who was forced to flee the country at the start of the month after 15 years of iron-fisted rule. More than 450 people were killed in the weeks of protests leading up to her August 5 ouster, most by police fire. Nobel Peace Prize Winner Muhammad Yunus has since taken over as interim leader. Despite efforts from the current Bangladesh Cricket Board, the Bangladesh Army, and newly appointed sports advisor Asif Mahmud, Bangladesh is unable to secure the hosting rights for the World Cup on home soil and the ICC ultimately decided against holding the event in Bangladesh. A significant factor behind this decision was the travel restrictions imposed by countries like India, Australia, England, and New Zealand. These restrictions proved to be the main hurdle for Bangladesh, and as a result, despite being listed as a host, Bangladesh’s women’s team will now have to play the World Cup in Sharjah and Dubai. This news has deeply saddened the team’s Captain, Nigar Sultana Joty. Nigar expressed her disappointment to Cricfrenzy, saying, “The World Cup was supposed to be held in our country, but now it’s being moved elsewhere. No matter how you put it, it’s going to hurt everyone who follows cricket in Bangladesh.”
