Indian sports presenter Ridhima Pathak has said she withdrew from the Bangladesh Premier League hosting panel by choice and was not removed. Her statement comes after media reports in Bangladesh claimed she had been dropped from the show. Pathak said the decision was personal and linked to the present political climate between the two countries. She added that her nation comes first and that she values the game more than any single job. The row follows growing tension after the BCCI asked Kolkata Knight Riders to release Mustafizur Rahman, leading Bangladesh to ban IPL telecasts and seek to shift its T20 World Cup matches from India.
