Massive mistake by BCB: First ODI tickets display incorrect England flag"
Now, a new blunder has caught the eye of them as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) mistakenly printed the flag of Great Britain instead of England in the tickets of the first ODI between Bangladesh and England.
It seems like off-the-field issues are once again taking the spotlight in Bangladesh cricket. There's been a lot of talk about a supposed rift between Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, as well as some reported "grouping" in the Bangladesh dressing room, after a controversial interview and a couple of media interactions.
Now, there's another issue that's causing quite a stir. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) mistakenly printed the flag of Great Britain instead of England on the tickets for the first ODI between Bangladesh and England. Just to clarify, Great Britain is a geographic and political term that includes England, Scotland, and Wales, along with the outlying islands they administer. However, England has its own flag, called the St. George's Cross, while Great Britain's official flag is the Union Jack.
When asked about the mistake, BCB media committee chairman Tanvir Ahmed Titu wasn't able to provide a proper explanation. He did mention that it's too late to rectify the mistake, as a lot of tickets have already been sold.
The first ODI will take place today at 12 pm at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Hopefully, the focus will shift back to the on-field action and we'll see a great match between Bangladesh and England.
