\u201cIt is a shame not to be hosting the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as we know the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have staged a memorable event,\u201d ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The reason behind the late change in plans by the International Cricket Council (ICC) is the state of unrest in Bangladesh with violence and cases of fatalities emerging every day after the takeover by a new government in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tournament will now take place across the two venues in the UAE \u2013 Dubai and Sharjah \u2013 from October 3 to 20 this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI 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\u2019t feasible. However, they will retain hosting rights. We look forward to taking an ICC global event to Bangladesh in the near future,\u201d it further added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The UAE, home to the ICC headquarters, has become a significant hub for cricket in recent years, hosting numerous qualifier tournaments as well as the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in 2021 alongside Oman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With its world-class facilities and infrastructure, the UAE is well-equipped to stage the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup. The country's growing prominence in the sport is reflected in the rise of both its men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams, each currently ranked 16th in the ICC T20I Team Rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
