Playing in the World Cup is the dream of the whole country, cricket is above everything: Enamul Haque Bijoy

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has expressed its reluctance to play the T20 World Cup in India due to security concerns. For this reason, a request was made to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to organize matches at an alternative venue. However, after several rounds of discussions, the ICC has clearly stated that the World Cup matches will be held in India as per the scheduled schedule. In the latest meeting, the BCB has been given one day to inform the final decision.

The BCB will have to inform today whether the Bangladesh team will go to India to participate in the World Cup or not. Before this important decision, Sports Advisor Asif Nazrul will discuss with the cricketers in the World Cup squad. Then, as per the government's guidelines, the BCB will inform the ICC of their final position.

The game is above everything.” His statement has already created a lot of discussion among cricket fans.
