We're Deprived Of Playing World Cup In Front Of Home Crowd, Says Nigar Sultana

T20 World Cup: Bangladesh women's captain Nigar Sultana said the recent shifting of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup from the country to the UAE has meant they will now miss the chance of playing a global tournament in front of their fans at home.

On August 20, the International Cricket Council (ICC) moved the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup venue from Bangladesh to UAE due to travel restrictions imposed by several participating countries amidst ongoing unrest in the country, though the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) still has hosting rights.

"For the last two days I was really sad and today I seemed a bit free because a lot of people tried to make me understand (the switch) in different ways. To be honest I was really hurt and that from the core of my heart."
