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.

"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.
