U-19 cricket team leave for Karachi tomorrow

Saturday, 17 November 2007


Bangladesh Under-19 team will leave here for Karachi tomorrow (Sunday) to play five one-day matches and one four-day match against Pakistan U-19 team.
The departure of the young cricketers was deferred by a day following a change in flight schedule.
Earlier, on November 8, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had to postpone the departure of the U-19 team considering the current volatile situation in Pakistan.
Bangladesh U-19 will begin the tour with a four-day match beginning Nov 20 at the National Stadium in Karachi and will travel to Hyderabad to play the first two one-day matches on Nov 26 and Nov 28 at the Niaz Stadium.
After traveling back to Karachi, the 3rd one-day match between the two youth teams will be played on Dec 2 at the DHA Ground. The 4th one-day match will be held at the Quaid-e-Azam Park (Steel Mills Karachi) on Dec 5 and the 5th and last one-day match on Dec 7 at the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) ground.
The Bangladesh U-19 team is expected to return home on Dec 9.
