There had been speculation that Bangladesh might also withdraw its shooting team over “security concerns” after pulling out of the cricket tournament. “So far there is no news that the Bangladesh team is not coming. A report in Dhaka’s Daily Sun on Wednesday stated that the Bangladesh government had approved the shooting team’s tour of India. The decision comes despite Bangladesh cancelling the national cricket team’s tour of India for the T20 World Cup earlier due to security concerns,” the report said. The ICC maintained that there was no verifiable security threat to the Bangladesh national team, officials, or supporters in India and it was not appropriate to amend the published event schedule.
