Cricketers leaving the field and now fighting with the board? The future of cricket in Bangladesh is in danger

News India Live, Digital Desk: We call cricket a ‘gentleman’s game’, but seeing what is going on in our neighboring country Bangladesh these days, any cricket fan will be heartbroken. There, the news is not dominated by fours and sixes, but by controversies, fights and police cases.

Recently, a news has come which has shocked everyone. Bangladesh players, who play for the country, are now pleading with folded hands to save their own cricket. he clearly says “Please, save the cricket.”

What is the whole matter?
As you know, there has been political turmoil in Bangladesh for the last few months. This has also had a direct impact on the Cricket Board (BCB) there. Ever since the change of government, the structure of the cricket board has also collapsed. Sometimes the Board President is running away, and sometimes a murder case is being registered against veteran player Shakib Al Hasan.

Amidst all this, the common players, who have nothing to do with politics, are badly trapped.

Players’ pain: “Our job is to play, not to suffer all this”
Reports suggest that the domestic and senior players there are very upset. A new controversy has come to light where factionalism within the board has now openly come out on the streets. Players say that due to these daily dramas and controversies, their focus is getting diverted from the game. They don’t know whether to practice for the upcoming matches or worry about their safety and future.

Imagine, what will happen to a player’s mental condition when he does not know whether his board will be there tomorrow or not?

Bangladesh team had recently created history by defeating Pakistan, but after that they suffered a crushing defeat on the India tour. Experts believe that the “tension” outside the field is spoiling the players’ performance inside the field.

What will happen next?
Cricket fans are just praying that sports should be kept separate from politics. This call of Bangladeshi players is not just their call, but the call of the game. If the situation does not improve in time, then a good emerging team can disintegrate.

Now it remains to be seen whether the responsible people there listen to this “SOS” (emergency message) or cricket will continue to be hit-wicket on the political pitch.
