BCCI president-elect Sourav Ganguly is confident that the Bangladesh players will sort the issue with the board and their tour of India won't be affected. The series is in trouble after national cricketers revealed that they wouldn't take part in any cricketing activity until their demands are met.
Bangladesh's tour of India is in trouble after Shakib Al Hasan, in a press conference on Monday, revealed that Bangladesh cricketers wouldn't take part in any cricket activity until their 11-point demands are addressed by their board. However, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president-elect Sourav Ganguly is confident that the players will sort the issue with the board and the series won't be affected.
"It is their internal matter, but they will sort out, they will come," Ganguly said to the IANS.
Ganguly explained that this an internal matter of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and he has no power of determining the outcome of the issue.
Nearly 50 players are part of the protest which was addressed in the media in Dhaka by senior players including Test and T20 captain Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim. It was clearly stated that they will be off cricketing activities till the time their demands are not fulfilled. An 11-point demand was put forward by the national cricketers.
Bangladesh are slated to tour India for a three-match Twenty20 International series and a two-match Test series, with the first T20I slated to begin on November 3 in Delhi.
