We cannot compromise with the safety of our players: Asif Nazrul
After an important meeting with the players, Bangladesh’s sports advisor Asif Nazrul made serious allegations against the ICC. He said that ICC has not done justice to Bangladesh and the safety of the players is being ignored. According to Asif Nazrul – Government, cricket board and players all three are unanimous that security will not be compromised under any circumstances. Asif Nazrul said in clear words that we will not bow down to anyone’s pressure. The world should also understand that if Bangladesh does not play the World Cup, what will be the consequences? We cannot compromise with the safety of our players.
After the meeting, Bangladesh Cricket Board also reiterated that their decision is firm. The board says that in the current circumstances it is not safe to play in India and hence the venue should be changed to Sri Lanka. However, ICC has already made it clear that the matches of the tournament will not be taken out of India. Even after this strict warning from ICC, Bangladesh has refused to back down from its decision. Due to this entire controversy, the clouds of crisis over the T20 World Cup seem to be deepening. Now everyone’s eyes are on ICC’s next step and resolution of this conflict.
