Bangladesh Move Third ODI Vs India From Dhaka To Chittagong

Dhaka: After Bangladesh’s opposition party announced plans for a protest, the country’s cricket board has moved a one-day international against India.

With all three matches originally scheduled to be played in Dhaka from December 4, the third match of the series on December 10 has now been moved to the coastal city of Chittagong.

Such an action has been taken by the cricket board in a bid to avoid a rally by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) which is expected to bring hundreds of thousands onto the streets of Dhaka.

The BNP has staged several huge demonstrations around the country since last month in an effort to force the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government.

“Chittagong was originally scheduled to host one Test. We felt there should be an ODI at the venue too,” Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) operations chief Jalal Yunus told AFP on Wednesday.
