DHAKA, June 10: Bangladesh is likely to bid for full membership
of the International Cricket Council (ICC) at its annual meeting
which will begin at Lord's England, on Wednesday. This was
disclosed by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President, Saber
Hossain Chowdhury, MP, while talking to newsmen on the eve of
his departure for London last night (Monday night) to attend the
five-day ICC meeting, starting from June 11.
Another Bangladesh delegate, BCB vice-president and ICC
development committee member, Syed Ashraful Haq, left Dhaka for
London on Sunday. The ICC congress will elect a nine-member
Executive committee, six from nine Test-playing nations and
three from the 22 associate members. Bangladesh's appeal for a
10th Test-playing nation, recommended by the ICC development
committee, is likely to be considered and endorsed at the
meeting on June 15. The ICC meeting will also consider the
recommendation of establishing five development committee
secretariats at five places in the world, including one in Dhaka
for central Asia. Four other secretariats are likely to be in
Antiqua for America, Tansvaal in South Africa for Africa, London
for Europe and Hong Kong for the Far East.
