Some Muslim group has urged the government to prevent the formation of women’s cricket league in Bangladesh. They tagged it as an ‘anti-Islamic’ move. In a statement, the Islamic Constitution Movement, which has no representation in parliament, said women’s cricket, and other field sports such as football, represented ‘alien culture’.
After all, harassing women and subjugating them for their own purpose is their ‘culture’ so giving them space and letting them go ahead in life is definitely called an ‘alien culture’ for them.
The group asked the head of an interim government that is, in place to prepare for national elections to ban women from participating in the league, as well as in any other sports or beauty pageants. On the other hand, General Secretary of the Bangladesh Cricket Board Mahbub Anam said that the league would continue despite the complaints.
