Cricket News: The popularity of cricket is increasing day by day. Now it is not limited to a few countries but has reached many countries. Its popularity can be gauged from the fact that it has also been included in the next Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles, America in 2028. In this way, cricket is making a comeback in the Olympics after 128 years. But now such a news is coming out, which will surprise every cricket lover. Actually, playing cricket has been completely banned in a city in Italy.
We are talking about the Italian city of Monfalcone (Cricket Ban In Monfalcone), where playing cricket has been completely banned. The city mayor has given a statement on this entire decision. The mayor says that cricket is a threat to cultural heritage. More than thirty thousand people live in Monfalcone and one third of them are foreigners.
Most of them are Bangladeshi Muslims. They came to the city in the 1990s to build huge cruise ships. If anyone is found playing cricket in this city, he will be fined 100 Euro Pounds (ten thousand rupees).
Monfalcone's mayor Anna Maria Cicint has said that she needs to protect her town and Christian values. She told the BBC, 'Our history is being erased. It doesn't make any sense anymore. Everything is going from bad to worse.
However, there is another reason behind this decision. Actually, the mayor is considered anti-Muslim. He has removed the benches from the city squares on which Bangladeshis used to sit. Not only this, he has also spoken against the dress worn by Muslim women on the beach.
After this, he is receiving death threats for his views. The mayor argues that the balls used in cricket are dangerous and can cause injury. Apart from this, the mayor also believes that there is no space to build the pitch.
