Bangladesh U-13 cricket team, who were scheduled to leave the capital
for Shiliguri, West Bengal, yesterday evening to take part in the
Chand Ballav Ghosh Memorial Juvenile Cricket Tournament, could not
make their move because of visa formalities.
The young cricketers were waiting at the Bangladesh Cricket Board
office during iftar last evening to know their fate.
When contacted over telephone last night, BCB joint-secretary Dewan
Shafiul Arefin Tutul said that the team would leave tonight by road
and was expected to reach Shiliguri by Wednesday morning.
Bangladesh, the defending champions, will play their first group match
on December 31.
