He said that from now on, flag bearers will be asked about their country when entering the field to make sure that they are actually citizens of that country.

Anyone can enter the stadium with the flag of their country

“What we are seeing here is that we, being Bangladeshis, are entering with the flags of other countries, and we have come to know that we are working outside the flag rule,” he said.

As you may know, some Bangladeshi cricket fans recently displayed the national flag in support of the Pakistan cricket team, sparking a heated debate on social media.

However, Mr Yunus said it was illegal under the flag rule to carry flags of all countries except one’s own. And because of the controversy over the Pakistani flag, the directive did not come.
