Australia's cricket captain Alyssa Healy has expressed concerns over holding the women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh this October, citing the country's current struggles with violence and political instability.
The departure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and appointment of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as interim chief has added to the tumultuous situation.
Healy argues that the crisis warrants prioritizing humanitarian aid over a sporting event, though the final decision rests with the International Cricket Council, which is expected to make a ruling soon.
