Indian sports presenter Ridhima Pathak has clarified her departure from the Bangladesh Premier League, stating she made a personal decision to withdraw due to the political climate between India and Bangladesh, not because she was dropped by organizers. Her statement emphasizes her commitment to her nation and the integrity of cricket. This comes amid broader sporting tensions, including Bangladesh's request to relocate T20 World Cup matches and India's instruction to release a Bangladeshi player from the IPL.
