Event to be postponed
The Bangabandhu Cup Golf Open, scheduled to begin March 25 at the Kurmitola Golf Club in Dhaka, is set to be postponed due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
A member of the Bangladesh Golf Federation, on condition of anonymity, yesterday said it would be postponed as Bangladesh have imposed restrictions on issuing on-arrival visas for citizens of a number of countries, with many golfers from those countries making up part of the 140-player contingent of the $400,000 annual event.
The decision, not yet made official, was taken on a day when Bangladesh reported its first cases of coronavirus inside the country, after the disease spread to more than 80 countries worldwide.
