The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BC) has written a letter to the Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman in seeking security assurance for the conduct of the Women’s T20 World Cup, especially after the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government took charge.

The 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to be played in Bangladesh from October 3-20, with warm-up games starting on September 27. But the ongoing turmoil and political shake-up, including resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her departure from the country, has meant doubts have risen over Bangladesh hosting the tournament in less than two months’ time.

According to a report in Cricbuzz, several BCB directors, including President Nazmul Hassan, have also left Bangladesh considering they had the backing of Hasina's party, Awami League. But it added some other directors of the board are still in Dhaka and have retained hopes of hosting the marquee event.
