The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) concerning development and use of two new cricket grounds at the sports education institute. Under the agreement, the BCB will develop two new cricket venues at the BKSP at its own cost and resources on the condition that it will be able to use the sites according to their requirements, especially to hold age level matches. The development work will include a modern drainage system, separate pavilions for each ground complete with dressing rooms, match officials’ rooms, hospitality area, media facility, dining area and dormitory with accommodation for approximately 44 persons. The BCB will also use the venues for training programmes under its jurisdiction.  The BKSP for its part will have access to the facilities for training purposes, but the BCB will be responsible for routine maintenance of the grounds. The information was revealed in a MOU signing ceremony where acting CEO of BCB Nizam Uddin Chowdhury and Director General of BKSP Brig Gen Md. Emadul Haque signed the agreement on behalf of their respective  organisations.
