Bangladesh improves security level

The International Cricket Council (ICC) might move World Cup matches if there is any escalation in violence directed at players.

The sport’s governing body gave a warning after Bangladesh fans threw stones at the West Indies’ team bus on Friday, breaking two windows in the process. But the incident was a mistake of identity by the fans thinking it to be the bus carrying the home team.

Bangladesh had lost the Group B clash in Mirpur by nine wickets after being bowled out for just 58 – their lowest ever total in one-day cricket. ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has revealed that arrests have been made after what he described as a minor incident outside of the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. Lorgat confirmed that the ICC could re-schedule matches away from original venues if there are further concerns. Meanwhile, Bangladesh have now ramped up security ahead of games against England and South Africa.
