I am deeply concerned about the safety of the Bangladeshi cricket team, fans, and journalists if the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is held in India. Recent tensions and incidents have highlighted the potential safety risks faced by Bangladesh's cricket community in the region. It's paramount that we prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants, supporters, and media.

In the past, there have been unfortunate events that put the security of Bangladeshi nationals at risk during their time in India. From isolated incidents of hostility to broader safety warnings by travel advisories, these concerns cannot be ignored. The emotional well-being of players, who are there to represent their country on an international stage, should not be jeopardized by off-field issues.

Furthermore, ensuring a peaceful and supportive environment is crucial for the performance of the team. Cricket is not just a sport for many Bangladeshis; it's a source of immense pride and joy. A safe venue, free from any potential threats, allows players to focus purely on the game, ensuring that their skills and passion for cricket can truly shine.

Sri Lanka is an ideal alternative to host the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The country has a proven track record of successfully hosting international cricket tournaments in a secure environment. With its rich cricketing culture and robust infrastructure, Sri Lanka can offer a welcoming and safe atmosphere for players and fans alike.

I urge the International Cricket Council (ICC) and relevant authorities to consider relocating the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 to Sri Lanka. By doing so, they can ensure the safety of all involved and allow the Bangladesh cricket team to compete without fear or hindrance.

Join me in advocating for the safety and rights of the Bangladeshi cricket team, fans, and journalists. Sign this petition to relocate the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 to Sri Lanka for the safety and security of everyone involved. Let's stand for cricket and unity!
