The Bangladesh cricketers went on strike on Monday as they said they wouldn’t take part in any of the cricketing activity until their 11-point demands are fulfilled by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. With their strike, a question mark has been raised on their upcoming tour of India. However, new BCCI President Sourav Ganguly is confident that the players will sort out the issue with the board and the series will take place as per the schedule.

“It is their internal matter, but they will sort out, they will come,” Sourav Ganguly said, when he was asked if the series would get hampered.

He was even asked if he would be speaking about the issue to the Bangladesh Cricket Board as BCCI President, Ganguly replied in a polite manner.

“It is their internal matter. I speak to the BCB, but this doesn’t come under me,” he explained.

While addressing the media in Dhaka, senior players like Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, who were all present at the press conference, clearly shared that they will not take part in any of the activities till their demands are not fulfilled. They have put forward an 11-point demand and announced their strike and will boycott all cricket-related activities as well.

Bangladesh are scheduled to play three T20I matches and a two-match Test series in India in November where the first T20I is scheduled to play on November 3 in Delhi.
