Friday, 25 December 2009
The Standard Chartered Young Tigers U-14 National School Cricket Tournament will begin Saturday with the district round matches to be participated by 539 schools, reports UNB.
Addressing a conference at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium Thursday, BCB Game Development Committee member and chairman of Tournament Management Committee Jalal Ahmed Chowdhury said the BCB-Standard Chartered partnership that began in 2005 has already started to bear fruits.
"I guess the biggest plus for us has been the representation of a large group of players in our different age-group teams including the Bangladesh Under-19 who have played in the Standard Chartered Young Tigers tournament at some point," he said.
Jalal Chowdhury added: "Also noticeable is the importance the schools are giving to cricket and you will find schools living a good number of qualified coaches with Level 1 or Level 2 degrees this year."
Speaking on the occasion, Bitopi Das Chowdhury, Head of Corporate Affairs of Standard Chartered Bank Bangladesh, said: "A very significant part of our corporate social responsibility is youth development through sports and here a big point of focus for us is cricket.”
