Uncertainty over Ireland-Bangladesh series broadcasting
BCB contacted the Ireland cricket board about broadcasting information but they are yet to provide any.
Ireland visited Bangladesh last month. Before the end of the month, Bangladesh went to England to play another series against the Irish. The three-match ODI series at Chelmsford will begin on May 9. Even though there are few days left, the issue of TV broadcast of this series is not finalized yet. BCB Chief Executive Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said that Cricket Ireland is continuing to try.
It is the responsibility of the host country to ensure the broadcast. But BCB could not be clear after talking to Cricket Ireland about this. The host country did not provide any information to BCB about the broadcast despite being asked. Due to which there is uncertainty about Bangladesh-Ireland series broadcast.
Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said in Mirpur on Thursday, 'We have spoken to the Ireland Cricket Board and asked to know which channel will show the game in Bangladesh territory. They haven't confirmed it yet. Maybe that's why they didn't tell me. We will know as soon as possible. If they can finalize, I will inform.
