Asif Nazrul: 'Impossible For Bangladesh To Play In India', Cites 'Anti-Bangladesh Campaign'

Bangladesh's Youth and Sports Adviser, Asif Nazrul, has stated that India is unsafe for his country's cricketers, creating uncertainty around Bangladesh's participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup matches hosted in India. Nazrul claims 'it is impossible for Bangladesh to play in India' due to an ongoing 'anti-Bangladesh campaign' and a lack of security. He is demanding a neutral venue, such as Sri Lanka, for his team's matches. The adviser also questioned the neutrality of the International Cricket Council (ICC), suggesting it may be influenced by India. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has indicated it is awaiting a final decision from the ICC on the matter, with a travel deadline for the team approaching on January 26.
