News India Live, Digital Desk: The relationship between cricket and media is often bound by rules. But this time ICC has had to intervene in some decisions of Bangladesh Cricket Team and media accreditation process for journalists. The matter is that according to Indian media reports, the Bangladeshi team showed such ‘tantrums’ regarding media coverage before the T20 World Cup (or any tour of India) that the International Cricket Council (ICC) was forced to re-make the rules. This incident shows that the global body is now serious about the behavior of the boards and players of cricket playing countries as well as their media. What was the whole controversy? This controversy is mainly to the T20 World Cup. The Cup or any future tour of India where the Bangladesh cricket team was scheduled to participate. Strict protocols: Media reports indicate that Bangladesh team management or officials demanded very strict protocols and media access for journalists visiting India, which went beyond normal international cricket standards. Selection and pressure: There were also allegations that preferential treatment was given to a certain group of journalists, raising questions about impartial and independent media coverage. This was like creating a controversy over a media pass before ‘getting a visa’. ICC’s intervention: When the matter escalated beyond limits and started spoiling the environment of independent coverage, the ICC had to intervene. The ICC started reworking the guidelines to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and media accreditation. What is the ICC doing now? It is the responsibility of the ICC to provide a fair and convenient environment for journalists to work in international events. Faced with ‘tantrums’ and strange protocols, the ICC is now considering revamping the Media Accreditation Process for Bangladeshi journalists, so that the entire process is transparent and no team is put under undue pressure. This change will ensure that all eligible journalists are allowed to cover the World Cup or any major series without undue interference from any board.
