DHAKA: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said that fans are not being barred from flying the flags of foreign nations at stadiums during the World Twenty20.

The BCB withdrew an earlier decision banning local fans from flying flags of other nations after intervention by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
