Now cricket is the victim of our politics
It is really a matter of shame that the West Indies Under-19 team has been withdrawn from Bangladesh due to safety concerns just three months before the T-20 World Cup. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials tried to make an effort to persuade the team to stay as the security forces of Bangladesh also ensured them top level security. But they felt insecure due to political unrest across the country such as bomb blasting, blockades, etc.
Isn't this situation tarnishing our image? Now the next cricket series can also come under threat. What if Sri Lanka doesn't visit us or ICC takes away the T20 World Cup tournament to somewhere else? Aren't we going to have the same fate as Pakistan has?
