Tanveer skips KL trip
Former national cricketer and a vice-president of Bangla-desh Cricket
Board (BCB) Tan-veer Haider, who was appointed as manager of the 16th
Commonwealth Games bound team, has decided against going to Kuala
Lumpur because of illness. He has sent a letter to BCB president
yesterday in this regard.
Talking to The Daily Star, Tanveer, who underwent an open-heart
surgery six months ago, said his doctor had advised him not to travel
abroad.
Meanwhile, the BCB general secretary said he was aware of Tanveer's
withdrawal and a new manager will be named on August 20 when the
board's executive committee meets.
Cricketers' Forum formed
A group of former cricketers have gathered under the banner of
Cricketers' Forum to promote fellowship and understanding among the
ex-cricketers and do something useful for those who have played the
game for a long time, says a press release.
The Forum is also aimed to contribute for the development of the sport
in the country in its own capacity.
Former national skipper ASM Roquibul Hassan has been appointed
president of the forum while Shakil Kasem, a batsman, will act as the
secretary general which has three vice-presidents in Mainul Haq, ASM
Farooq and Ali Ul Islam.
The forum has organised a get together for ex-crickters at the NSC
conference room on August 21 at 5 pm.
