Sports Desk

BCB had decided that spectators going to watch the match in the stadium will be able to take food and water inside. This will give them relief. This decision was appreciated by many. However, they reversed their decision after one match. BCB has banned food and water again as before from the second T20 against Pakistan.

The BCB said in a press release today, “It is hereby informed to the spectators interested in watching the 2nd and 3rd T20 matches of the international T20 series between Bangladesh and Pakistan to be held on July 22 and 24 that due to special security reasons, entry into the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium with any kind of food and drink has been completely prohibited.”

“In this regard, the Bangladesh Cricket Board humbly requests the esteemed audience to provide all possible support to the government and private organizations responsible for the security of the series.”

They did not explain why this change was made. However, BCB director Iftekhar Rahman Mithu told the media that it was not possible for them to ensure the safety of such a large audience by testing their food.
