The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to place a proposal to the sports minister on holding one or two matches of the 2011 ICC World Cup at the Bangabandhu National Stadium(BNS).A unanimous decision was taken on 25 May meeting that the board will officially place a proposal to the state minister for youth and sports on holding a couple of the ICC World Cup matches at the BNS.
"We are getting such demands of holding matches at the BNS from many Dhaka clubs. Besides, this venue is also historical one, which hosted the mini World Cup as well as Bangladesh's inaugural Test against India. But, there is no World Cup match at the venue and it is not right,".BCB spokesman Jalal Younus told media to defend thier decision.
IS THIS A JOKE?????????????
Where will football go if all stadiums are being used for cricket?
To hold cricket matches at the BNS, would be a massive project that involves digging up the Taka 10-crore athletic track.But more importantly it will affect football, which is
regaining its popularity through the activities of Kazi Salahuddin-led Bangladesh Football Federation.
Roumour has Corrupted Organizers want to fish in troubled waters & earn a huge sum of money by participating in the construction job of BNS for the CWC.
Moreover it is said BCB is vowed to take revenge on BFF for taking BNS for football during the reign of The then BNP-led four-party alliance government.
It is not appreciable to all that there will be no football for two years for hosting the Cricket World Cup and country's conscious people must realise it.
We mus prevent anything like this happening in Bangladesh.
