The International Cricket Council (ICC) has designated three umpires
from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to officiate matches of the
tri-nation tournament scheduled to be held at the Bangabandhu
National Stadium from March 19 to 27. Test babes Zimbabwe, Kenya and
hosts Bangladesh will take part in the tournament organised by the
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) as part of Bangladesh's preparation
for the England World Cup.
The three umpires are VK Ramaswami of India, Javed Akhter of Pakistan
and Peter Manuel of Sri Lanka.
Matches will initially be held on a double league basis followed by
the March 27 final between the top two teams.
Meanwhile, the board is yet to get a sponsor for the three-nation
tourney. According to BCB general secretary Syed Ashraful Huq, the
board is expecting to get a sponsor very soon.
