Delhi: With a little over a month to go for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, there is a report on Zee News which claims that terror threat looms on the marquee event. The warning has been issued by the Pro-Islamic State. The T20 WC is a global event and would be attended by many across the world. The Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister has assured citizens that the security is in place to counter everything and that there is nothing to panic.
“Pro-Islamic State (IS) media sources have launched campaigns inciting violence against sporting events, which included video messages from the Afghanistan-Pakistan branch, ISKhorasan (IS-K) which highlighted assaults in numerous countries,” read the terror threat, as quoted in the report on Trinidad’s Daily Express.
CEO of CWI, Jonny Graves, however, has allayed all fears about security.
“We work closely with authorities in the host countries and cities, and continually monitor and evaluate the global land scape to ensure appropriate plans are in place to mitigate any risks identified to our event,” Graves told Cricbuzz.
“We want to assure all stakeholders that safety and security of everyone at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is our number one priority and we have a comprehensive and robust security plan in place,” Graves added.
The marquee event which is slated to take place in the USA and the West Indies starts from June 2. The curtain-raiser would be played between Canada and the United States of America. India will play their first game on June 5 against Ireland.
