Dhaka: The 2nd Women's Kabaddi World Cup, which was scheduled to be held next month in India, has been postponed, an email received by Bangladesh Kabaddi Federation (BKF) confirmed this afternoon. The email stated that the delay in obtaining clearance from the concerned ministry was due to the participating countries not submitting team contingent details on time. As a result, the Women's Kabaddi World Cup has been postponed.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the postponement comes shortly after the BKF general secretary, SM Newaz Shohag, announced a 15-member Bangladesh women's kabaddi team for the World Cup at a press conference held at the Bangladesh Olympic Association auditorium.
