Change to fixtures for West Indies Under-19s in Bangladesh

CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh – The second One-Day Match between Bangladesh Under-19 and West Indies Under-19 scheduled to be held at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong on Sunday has been shifted to Monday.

The venue and match timing will remain the same. The rest of the itinerary of the seven-game series will be unchanged. The decision to shift the second match was taken after discussions between officials of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and West Indies Under-19 Team management in regards to security arrangements following an incident on Saturday evening near the hotel where the teams are staying. BCB Director Akram Khan, who has spoken to officials of the West Indies and Bangladesh teams and local administration in Chittagong said: “The security agencies have assured the players and management that there was no risk to their safety. Nevertheless security measures will be reinforced further as we will not compromise with matters that concern the well-being of international teams. The West Indies Under 19 side have expressed their confidence in the arrangements and it has been decided that the second match will get underway tomorrow.”
