T20 World Cup 2024
Healy's concerns mount over World Cup tour to Bangladesh

Australia captain Alyssa Healy expressed concern to tour Bangladesh for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, scheduled in October.
The ongoing political unrest in the country has put the hosting of the World Cup in jeopardy. The ICC is considering UAE as the alternative as BCCI has declined the offer.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have also shown interest in hosting the prestigious tournament.
"I find it really hard to see a cricket event going on over there at the moment and taking resources away from a country that is really struggling. They're needing everyone they can possibly get in there helping people that are dying," said Healy.
Healy stated that it is difficult for her to see any cricketing event going on there, given the situation in the country. She thinks that it would be a ‘wrong thing’ to do and expects ICC to find a solution soon.
"I'd find it hard to fathom playing there at the moment, as a human being, I feel like it might be the wrong thing to do. But I'll leave it to the ICC to work out," she added.
