Cricketers treated shabbily
It is really unfortunate to find out the kind of shabby treatment handed out to our national cricket team by Cricket South Africa (CSA). According to media reports “Players and officials had to stay five hours in the team hotel lobby on November 2 before being checked in after a fourteen-hour journey” (DS Nov.7). And this was not the end. Further reports add that Ashraful and Razzak were kept waiting on the dais for forty-five minutes only to be informed that there would be no post-match briefing! Such negligent and irresponsible treatment that our players have received is simply unacceptable. Whenever South Africa (or any other foreign cricket team) come to Bangladesh, they always receive warm hospitality and have been well looked after by our cricket authorities.
Just because our cricket team is the underdog for this tournament does not mean that they deserve to receive such treatment.
We want a clarification from CSA authorities on the issue.
