The political unrest in Bangladesh has caused confusion in the cricket community and raised questions about the national team’s future matches.
After the recent removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government, the country is now in a state of disorder. The turmoil has caused many problems, such as cricket players’ homes being set on fire, important buildings being damaged, and more violence happening.
This situation is happening when Bangladesh cricket is very important, as the team is supposed to play key matches in the World Test Championship against Pakistan and India.
According to World Test Championship rules, if a team doesn’t show up for a planned series, the other team gets a free win and all the points.
In this situation, Pakistan would get important points as they try to qualify for the WTC finals. Meanwhile, India, who is already leading in points, would strengthen their position even more.
On the other hand, if Bangladesh can’t play, they would fall to the last place, hurting their chances in the championship a lot.
This would be a big blow for a team that has been working hard to make a mark in the WTC.
