Gillespie’s question to ICC

In a since-deleted post, Gillespie had asked the ICC why Bangladesh was not allowed to play matches outside India. He reminded the old incident, when India did not play Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan and Bangladesh was allowed to play at a neutral venue.

His intention was to understand the rules of the decision, not to target anyone. Experienced players like Gillespie often throw light on cricket’s policies with such questions, but this time the reaction silenced him.

Post deleted due to online abuse

After the post, 50-year-old Gillespie faced heavy criticism and abuse. On a user’s question he replied, "Because I got abused for asking a simple question, that’s why." Fed up with this abuse, he deleted the tweet.

He clearly called it online harassment. Such incidents are increasing on social media, where people attack without thinking, which makes healthy discussion difficult. Many former cricketers now think twice before sharing their opinions.

ICC’s decision regarding BCB

The ICC recently included Scotland in their place despite concerns from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). BCB had demanded not to play the match in India due to security reasons and shift it to a neutral venue like Sri Lanka. After three weeks of negotiations, the ICC said that an independent security assessment had found no real threat. This step was taken to maintain the schedule of the tournament.

Referring to the detailed security plans, the ICC said that the team, officials and fans will be safe. This decision will maintain the uniformity of cricket, but the fans of Bangladesh are disappointed.
