West Indies will arrive Dhaka on October 1 on a ten-day visit,
said a source close to Bangladesh Cricket Board yesterday. The
tour was confirmed by the West Indian board recently.
On the second visit to Bangladesh in 12 months, the Caribbean,
who played the Wills International Cup final against South Africa
at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on November 1 last year, will
engage themselves in a three-day match, scheduled for a October 4
start and two day-night one-day internationals on October 8 and 9
before leaving for Sharjah on October 10.
All the matches will played at the Bangabandhu National Stadium
which will be at BCB's disposal after September 7.
A senior board official said yesterday that Bangladesh Television
is likely to telecast all the matches live.
"The matter is in the pipeline," said the official, who opted not
to be named.
He also said that the primary camp of Bangladesh is likely to
begin from August 20 with around 35 cricketers.
