Youth cricket's start delayed


Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) pushed back the kick-off of the 23rd national youth cricket tournament from April 17 to May 10.

"We would like to give the tournament a new look, for which we need money," coordinator of the tournament committee Ali Hossain told BDNEWS yesterday.

He revealed that a cell phone company has come up to sponsor the tournament. "We have been looking for sponsors. I think everything will be finalised before the new date," Ali Hossain added.

According to the BCB official, they are going to introduce longer-version of the game from the second round of the tournament.
