Delhi : The Women's T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Bangladesh this year, but due to the ongoing violence and protests there, this tournament may be held at some other place. The ICC is considering this matter and the new venue can be announced at any time. Meanwhile, Australia's women's team captain Alyssa Healy has made an important statement in this matter. She said that organizing the Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in October may not be appropriate.

Alyssa Healy said in her statement that hosting the T20 World Cup could put additional pressure on Bangladesh, which is currently grappling with large-scale violence and protests, in which hundreds of people have lost their lives. The Women's T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Bangladesh from 3 to 19 October, in which defending champions Australia and 10 other teams, including the Indian women's cricket team, will participate.

Healy told Cricket Australia that it did not seem appropriate to play cricket in Bangladesh at this time. From a humanitarian point of view, he believes it would be wrong to force the event at a time when the country is facing a major conflict. He said that at this time Bangladesh is more in need of the resources that can be made available to help those who are dying. He has left the final decision to the ICC, which may take a decision this week.

Recently visited Bangladesh

Recently, Australia toured Bangladesh and played a limited overs series. In this tour, all the matches, three ODIs and three T20s, were played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. This was Australia's first tour to Bangladesh after the 2014 T20 World Cup and was important for preparing for the tournament. Healy is confident that even if the tournament is shifted to another venue, the hard work done so far will not go in vain.
