Bangladesh approves Shooting team to travel to India after T20 World Cup 2026 boycott, let's take a look at this photo collection to find out the reason behind it.
The Bangladesh government made an unexpected move by reportedly approving the shooting team's travel to India.
The Shooting team is set to participate in the Asian Rifle and Pistol Shooting Championship in New Delhi, which is set to start from February 2 to 14.
Bangladesh's youth and Sports Ministry approved the shooting team to compete, even though the government had previously expressed security concerns over the Bangladesh national cricket team travelling to India for their scheduled World Cup matches.
"The Bangladesh team consists of just one athlete and one coach, making it a very small group. In addition, the organisers have assured us that there will be no security issues,” Youth and Sports Secretary Md Mahbub-ul-Alam said
Throughout the T20 World Cup boycott controversy, Bangladesh's interim-government sports advisor, Asif Nazrul, criticized the ICC for disregarding their security concerns, arguing that the risks of playing in India had not been adequately addressed.
Bangladesh had also requested the ICC to shift their group-stage matches out of India, after pacer Mustafizur Rahman was released by Kolkata Knight Riders under a directive from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Bangladesh chose to boycott the tournament after ICC refused to shift the match venue, leading to Scotland replacing them.
As per reports government officials consider the shooting championship to pose minimal security risks, as it will take place indoors at a secure venue.
