It is a bad news for BD cricketers and fans that the two Pakistani cricketers were not given permission from their board. Their participation could have helped BD cricketers to learn things from them.Pakistan pair not allowed to play in Bangladesh

congratulations Bangladesh, few more wins and you will be above Pakistan too
I think, ity is too early for our team to match Pakistani team. Pakistan team has only one problem, that is, game fixing.
Will BD be the host or will be a co-host with some other south asian country?
Bangladesh to host 2012 Asia Cup
The 2012 Asia Cup will be held in Bangladesh after an executive meeting of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) decided to award the rights to the country.
The tournament, which will held from March 1 to 12 at the Shere Bangla National stadium in Mirpur, will be hosted by Bangladesh for the second time with the first instance being in 2000.
Were thrilled that the 11th Asia Cup will be held here, ACC CEO Syed Ashraful Huq told ESPNcricinfo. It goes well with Mustafa Kemals presidency of both bodies [ACC and the Bangladesh Cricket Board] and we are confident the tournament will go well.
India, the defending champions, will compete alongside Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the hosts. China, which hosted cricket matches of the Asian Games this year, was a contender for hosting the tournament but lost out after there were doubts over their ability to host a quadrangular tournament.

Pakistan likely to host B'desh next year
Karachi: Pakistan is confident of hosting Bangladesh in what will be a ground-breaking home series next year after its cricket chief had a fruitful meeting with Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials in Dhaka.
Ijaz Butt, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, met top Bangladesh cricket officials in Dhaka on the sidelines of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting and discussed the possibility of Bangladesh visiting Pakistan in 2011.
Butt said on Wednesday that the BCB has shown its willingness on sending a Bangladesh team to Pakistan for a full series.
"Bangladesh has agreed to tour Pakistan and we hope that the series will rake place here soon," said Butt.
Pakistan has become a no-go zone for international sports-persons after Sri Lanka's cricket team was ambushed by terrorists in Lahore in March 2009. The attack left several people, mostly policemen, dead while a number of Sri Lankan cricketers and team officials were injured.
PCB officials have since then been making futile efforts to resume international cricket in Pakistan.
Butt is hopeful that Bangladesh will help break the ice by visiting Pakistan soon.
The PCB chief rejected the impression that relations between the PCB and the BCB were strained after Pakistan refused to send its team to Bangladesh on security grounds.
"There have been a few issues between us, but our relations are fine," he said.
Relations between the two boards touched rock bottom in early 2009 when Bangladesh refused to host Pakistan for a series of five One-day Internationals and two Twenty20 matches in March.
Despite requests from the PCB, the tour was eventually called off by the BCB on government advice a day after the terrorist attack in Lahore.
At that time the BCB said that its government refused to give it clearance for the series. However, the general impression in Pakistan was that the BCB was influenced by the Indian cricket board in its decision to cancel the series.

Hey guys what do you think about BD's performance in upcoming World Cup?
I really think that BD will be a dark horse.
Nowadays BD has a capability to take down stronger opponents like New Zealand.
I guess BD will reach Semis in WC2011.

Cricket seems to be the most unpredictible sport. So, no one can say anything for sure. I wish your prediction comes true that BD will reach semi-final in the WCC. There is no doubt BD performance is coming up.
This game has spread throughout the country's young generation and I can see tall players with better physical strength and performance are joining the national team. We need to play more and more games against other strong teams before WC is held. Pakistan and India are two such teams. I welcome Pakistani invitation of BD team to play a full series in 2011.

I think Tamim is a growing up to be an awesome opener...BCB could have left him light-shouldered and instead retained Rahim for the Vice-Captaincy post...

WC ticket sale starts amid chaos

Star Online Report
Chaos and clashes at different city ticket outlets marked the start of sale of the tickets for upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup.
Standing in queues in front of different branches of City and Agrani banks where people started lining up since Saturday, the wait came to an end lastly at 10:00am Sunday.
A Sunday morning visit through the city gave Star Online an evidence of long queues, some more than one kilometre.
Several outlets including those at Bangabandhu Avenue, Mouchak, Darus Salam and Mirpur area of the city saw clashes.
A photographer of Daily Kaler Kontho was injured in front of a ticket-selling centre at Dhanmondi-2 during a clash between police and the cricket fans.
Earlier, hundreds of cricket-lovers thronged some 80 ticket outlets in the city from Saturday to secure tickets for the World Cup 2011.
At around 5:00pm Saturday, roughly 16 hours before opening the Mirpur-1 branch of City Bank, the queue had gone up to around 3,000 people. Most of the ticket seekers were from the nearby areas but there were some from other districts, where the ticket allocations are scarcer than the capital.
But in all practicality, no more than 480 tickets can be sold on a day from a single booth, City Bank said on Friday.
A total of 15,127 tickets will be available for public consumption but it was not clear from where the tickets for the dignitaries will come from.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has started selling of tickets through two designated banks--City Bank and Agrani Bank.
Bangladesh is one of the co-hosts of the 2011 World Cup Cricket and will host eight matches including two quarterfinals at home.
The opening ceremony of the tournament will take place at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on February 17.
