The victorious national youth cricket team returned home last night.
State Minister for Youth and Sports Obaidul Quader received the
victors from Singapore at the Zia International Airport at 9.30 pm.
The president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Saber Hossain
Chowdhury was also present to welcome the heroes, who lifted the
Asian Youth Championship title for the second time running by
defeating Nepal in the final by six wickets on Sunday.
The victory for Bangladesh was, however, the icing on the cake as
they already confirmed their berth in the forthcoming World Youth
Championship along with Nepal by virtue of reaching the final of the
Singapore showpiece.
The World Youth Championship, involving 16 teams, including the nine
Test-playing nations, will be held in Sri Lanka in January 2000.
