Bangladesh approves shooting team India tour, days after T20 World Cup ban
AI Summary
Bangladesh approved its shooting team's participation in the Asian Shooting Championships in New Delhi next month, despite recent security concerns. This decision comes shortly after the Bangladesh cricket team forfeited their place in the Twenty20 World Cup, scheduled from February 7 to March 8, due to their refusal to play in India, citing security issues. The International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected Bangladesh's request to move their World Cup matches to Sri Lanka, deeming the late change infeasible. The shooting contingent, consisting of a shooter, coach, and jury member, received approval from the Ministry of Youth and Sports to compete in India. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) confirmed Bangladesh's participation, stating that necessary clearances had been in process for months and that they adhere to international sporting regulations.
