Syed Ashraful Haque, general secretary of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), revealed this last night. Talking to The Daily Star, Ashraful, who returned from London on Friday, said that a Bangladeshi umpire will go to the World Cup along with two other umpires from Kenya and Scotland. The three umpires from the ICC associate member-countries will only be appointed as 'third umpires' in matches of the World Cup.

The 12 other umpires will be picked from the eight Test playing countries and the West Indies.
