Political stand

This refers to the ICC Board voting against the request of the Bangladesh Cricket Board to shift their matches from India to Sri Lanka. The ICC has taken the correct decision, as there is no threat of life to any player, including Bangladesh. It is unfortunate that the Bangladesh government has taken a political stand on the removal of their player, Mustafizur Rahman, who was removed from the IPL franchise team KKR, which is an isolated case, which has been given a political colour, blown out of proportion.

Now that the ICC has put their foot down, we hope that good sense would prevail upon BCB to agree to play in India and entertain its fans, not only in Bangladesh, but all over the world.
