Morally Hard To Fathom Playing T20 World Cup In Bangladesh, Says Alyssa Healy

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina: Australia captain Alyssa Healy has voiced her concerns over the prospect of playing the upcoming T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as political unrest continues to grip the country. The tournament, scheduled for October, hangs in the balance as the ICC debates whether to relocate it due to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh.

With over 400 people killed in recent protests and the nation facing significant turmoil, Healy questions the ethics of holding the event there.

The unrest stems from protests against a controversial quota system that reserves public jobs for the descendants of freedom fighters. The situation has escalated, with reports from the United Nations confirming that at least 65 minors are among those who have lost their lives. Amid this chaos, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has fled the country and resigned, further deepening the crisis.
