International Cricket Council (ICC) president Jagmohan Dalmiya left the capital for Calcutta yesterday after a three-day visit to review the progress of the forthcoming Wills International Cup tournament to be held at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka from October 24.

During his visit, the ICC boss last Sunday inspected the ground, the newly-installed flood lights and electronic scoreboard and other facilities being developed at the Dhaka Stadium. He also called on the State Minister for Youth and Sports Obaidul Quader the same evening.

David Richards, the chief executive of ICC, and Asif Iqbal, the event manager, who accompanied Mr. Dalmiya during the visit, left Dhaka yesterday evening.

Asif, the former Pakistan Test cricketer, will return to the capital on October 5 to supervise the final stage of the preparations and will be present during the tournament. Richards is due again on October 20, four days before the knock-out tournament involving nine Test playing nations gets under way.
