Bangladesh’s adequacy of hosting the World T20 Championships next year will be decided when a venue inspection team from International Cricket Council (ICC) will make its final visit to Dhaka on August 17.
Meanwhile, ICC’s Anti Corruption and Security Unit (Acsu) team are also expected to visit the country around August 12-14, informed Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan on Wednesday.
The ICC inspection team, who earlier visited on June 10, were not satisfied with the progression of work in Cox’s Bazar and Sylhet stadium and it was learnt that this coming visit will decide the fate of holding the mega event next year.
However, the BCB boss is confident about the work progress of the venues. “ICC T20 venue inspection team will arrive on August 17. Their major interest will be in Cox’s Bazar and Sylhet stadium and the alternative venues Fatullah and BKSP,” said Nazmul.
On the other hand, the report regarding the ‘fixing’ scandal will finally be revealed as the Acsu team are expected to present the final report of their investigation. “Acsu will arrive just after Eid and I think they will come on 12, 13 or 14 of August and as far I know they are going to stay more than one day so you will know everything,” added Nazmul.
