Dhaka, Jan 31: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday announced revised entry regulations for journalists at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS), significantly tightening media access as part of what it described as enhanced security measures at the venue.
In an official statement, the BCB said the new regulations would come into effect immediately and would apply to all individuals entering the stadium complex, including media personnel. The board clarified that the move is aimed at ensuring better safety, security and orderly operations within the stadium premises and adjoining BCB offices.
Under the revised guidelines, Gate 1 has been designated as the sole entry point for media representatives. Additionally, journalists will now be allowed access to the stadium only on specific occasions — namely on match days, during official press conferences, at events held through formal invitations issued by the BCB, or during select practice and training sessions.“The Bangladesh Cricket Board sincerely seeks the understanding and cooperation of all concerned to ensure the smooth implementation of these measures in the broader interest of safety, security and orderly operations,” the statement added.The development comes at a sensitive time for Bangladesh cricket, following the International Cricket Council’s decision to replace Bangladesh with Scotland for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
