Tigers reach Jamaica
Sports Reporter
Bangladesh cricket team reached Jamaica yesterday from Barbados to attend today's World Cup opening ceremony.Habibul Bashar's men played a triangular series involving Bermuda and Canada before taking on New Zealand and Scotland in the official warm-up games and they won both matches. Bangladesh will launch their World Cup campaign on March 17 by taking on former champions India and then meet another holders Sri Lanka on March 19 and face off with Bermuda on March 25 in the Group B matches in Trinidad and Tobago. The only concern however for the Tigers was the injury of middle-order batsman Aftab Ahmed who sustained a muscle injury in his waist while batting against Scotland in the second and final warm-up one-dayer. The dashing batsman had an MRI on Friday morning but the report was not yet received. It was however learnt that the team management was hopeful about his recovery before the main campaign starts.
