Reports: Bangladesh cricket team under security threat in World T20

[BDforever]

Kolkata police believe that along with the Pakistan cricket team, both Bangladesh and Afghanistan cricket team could be the target of attack by some religious political organizations during the World T20, according to reports.

Bangladesh will be mainly based in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh during the qualifying group matches when the tournament starts next month. But if they can qualify for the Super 10 stages then they have to play a couple of matches in Kolkata.

It has been learnt that the Kolkata Police has taken the security issue of the visiting cricket teams very seriously with a strict safety protocol. All the players of Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan will stay at the same hotel in Kolkata for which the Kolkata Police have already planned strong security methods.


The security of teams in sub-continent is becoming a serious issue day by day with many of these deterring incidents coming up in the recent times.

Earlier this year the Cricket Australia (CA) refused to send their Under-19 team to Bangladesh to compete in the ICC Under-19 World Cup amid security issues. The Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked by terrorist in Pakistan in 2009 and since then Pakistan has hosted only Zimbabwe among other countries.

Earlier this week the much-awaited India-Pakistan World T20 clash which was scheduled in Dharamsala went into jeopardy for ex-servicemen’s protest in Shimla. The Ex-servicemen of Indian Army in Shimla have asked BCCI to reconsider the match, keeping in view the sentiments of the families of martyrs and patriots.

The sixth edition of the ICC World T20 is scheduled to be held in India from 8 March to 3 April. And it is to be seen what security measures Kolkata Police takes to keep the peace.

Damn this is serious, Pakistan cricket team threat is the most critical, but both Bangladesh and Afghanistan cricket team are in significant threat as well. One way or the other, threat from Indian Hindu terrorists is real and not faked. One never know, what serious can happen to players, officials and staff of Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

I wish PCB stand up and tell ICC, Pakistan is not going to be the part of this series. Players security should be the first priority. Why can't ICC arrange the series in any other country?

Well by going per your logic i think you mean to say whole Pakistan gathered at Lahore and Attacked the bus.... right??

Well the 3 policemen died in the attacks were Pakistani (Including 2 Traffic wardens) the Bus driver was also Pakistani he got injured in the Attacks but instead of leaving the bus there and save his life he preferred to drive the bus to the safe point and save Srilankans .... The Army Helicopter that rescued Srilankans was also Pakistani which move the Srilankan team to the airport

Now who is more retard here me or you?? which cannot even distinguish between terrorists and a country.... GOD gave you brain try to use it next time

Thanks

West Bengal is already a jihadi heaven , they should shift all the matches from Kolkata to Ranchi.

It will be a good rest period for Pakistan and Bangladesh players. Also other small teams will have the chance to play in Super 10.

Kolkata police is in hands of Mamta didi, and she is somehow little anti-BJP. So the statement has little political taste. Take it with a pinch of salt.
