Promoting Bulbul’s success by getting the rights to the non-profit U-19 World Cup!

Sports Desk
Bangladesh could not play the T20 World Cup due to the politics of the interim government. They have to watch the World Cup as spectators. By not playing the World Cup, they are not getting prize money, and the players are being deprived of showing their glimpses on the big stage. Amidst such a disaster, Aminul Islam Bulbul has come into the discussion by calling on Pakistan to play with India for the sake of cricket. He is promoting the 2028 Under-19 World Cup from the ICC as a success; although this tournament is completely unprofitable.

Bangladesh Cricket Board has deprived itself of playing in the World Cup by playing anti-India politics with Pakistan. The ICC gave the opportunity to Scotland because Bangladesh refused to go to India to play. Initially, there were rumors of boycotting the World Cup in protest, but Pakistan later announced that it would boycott the match against India.

After ten days of drama, Pakistan again backed down from their decision and announced to play India. Before that, BCB President Bulbul requested Pakistan to play against India. As if everything was tied up; Pakistan also agreed after Bulbul’s request.

Bulbul was also present at the ICC meeting in Lahore along with PCB President Mohsin Naqvi and the ICC representatives. His real achievement there was not being banned or fined. If the ICC wanted to, it could have fined and banned BCB for not playing in the World Cup. They did not do so considering the fans.

Along with this, the ICC said that Bangladesh will be allowed to host an event between 2028 and 2030. In 2021, the ICC had given hosting rights to all major events for ten years. At that time, BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon brought Bangladesh as a joint host with India in the 2031 ODI World Cup. The ICC said that the decision remains in place.

The new event that BCB is getting the right to organize is basically the Under-19 World Cup. This event is basically non-profit, so India and England have never organized it. This time, the tournament was hosted by countries like Zimbabwe and Namibia. So it is an event that you can get if you want it. Commercially, organizing a World Cup for young people has more losses than gains. Bulbul is promoting that as a diplomatic success; claiming himself as a ‘gold medalist’.

However, due to Bulbul’s ultimate failure, Bangladesh could not play in the World Cup. This BCB president, having lost his own World Cup, made a drama of requesting a match between India and Pakistan. Sports advisor Asif Nazrul has caused a great loss to the country’s cricket by supporting him from behind.
