Jamilur Rahman also said, “We have not been told anything in detail. I think BCB will take the venue from Bogra.
The venue official told the media workers that YCL’s four-day match was at Shahid Chandu Stadium.
In this regard, District Sports Association President and Bogra DC. Saiful Islam told bdnews24.com, “If there was any problem, the BCB could have informed me as the president of the district sports association. But they didn’t tell me. When I saw the letter, I was surprised! I don’t know but the complaint against the district sports organization?”
DC Saiful Islam commented, “Why did this happen? Give me time, I will fix everything. I was not informed as the president. I will respond to BCB’s decision. At least the Bogra venue should not be withdrawn.”
General Secretary of District Sports Association Machudur Rahman Milan told bdnews24.com, “The field was abandoned by BCB for 16 years. No games were held here. They wanted to boycott the field under any pretext, that was their intention. They did so.”
It is known that during the financial year 2003-04 Bogra Shahid Chandu Stadium was upgraded to an international venue (with flood-lights) at a cost of 21 crores. This ground already has five wickets (pitches) of good quality.
