Cricket: Alyssa Healy has expressed concerns about playing the Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.
Healy: Feels like the wrong thing to do | 00:44The 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup scheduled for October has been moved out of Bangladesh and will instead take place in the United Arab Emirates, the International Cricket Council announced on Tuesday.
More than 450 people were killed in the weeks of protests leading up to her August 5 ouster, most by police fire. Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus has since taken over as interim leader. “I would like to thank the team at the BCB for exploring all avenues to try and enable the event to be hosted in Bangladesh, but travel advisories from the governments of a number of the participating teams meant that wasn’t feasible.
“I’d find it really hard to see a cricket event going on over there at the moment and taking away resources from a country that is really struggling and they need everyone they can possibly get in there helping people that are dying,” Healy told reporters in Sydney on Monday.
