Cricket still uncertain
Cricket's participation in the upcoming Bangladesh Games remains uncertain as it is still not clear who will bear the expenses of the T20 event.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will take the final decision after the return of its president Nazmul Hassan Papon from ICC meeting today.
BCB received a letter from the Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) where the latter cited the BCB president's willingness to bear the entire expenses of the cricket event, which is going to make its debut in the Games.
"They [BOA] are reluctant to spend a single penny. They mentioned that our president agreed to bear the entire expenditure but we are not aware of it. The president [Papon] returns home today and then we will take the final decision," said Jalal Yunus, BCB's ad-hoc committee member and chairman of the media committee, yesterday.
The cricket event is scheduled to start from April 21 with eight teams at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra.
