Spectators Allowed to Bring Their Own Food as BCB Changes Rules for BAN vs PAK T20Is

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced that fans will be allowed to bring food and drinks from outside into the stadium during the upcoming Bangladesh vs Pakistan T20I series. This is a big change from the earlier rules.

BCB confirmed this in a press release, changing the old rule that did not allow outside food in the stadium. According to the press release, fans can now carry food and drinks, but all items will be checked by security.

"Food and beverages from outside will be allowed, but security staff have the right to inspect them. Entry will be given only after proper checking," said the BCB statement.

1. Firearms
2. Laser pointers
3. Flares or fireworks
