But the press conference was held during a general strike while the
logo-launching ceremony to be held in the evening will begin at the end
of the strike."The political situation during an election year in Bangladesh is
usually unstable so I hope the situation will change during the World
Twenty20s," ICC vice-president AHM Mustafa Kamal said. "Government and
opposition leaders had come to watch the Asia Cup last year, so we
believe that the political parties will not create any obstacles.Apart from this, the BCB will have to deal with the issue of
infrastructure as construction is yet to begin on the proposed stadium
in Cox's Bazar, while the one in Sylhet is still incomplete. BCB
president Nazmul Hassan remained upbeat about both venues completion.As far as I know, the Cox's Stadium will be handed over to the BCB. We
can start work next week if we receive a letter in this regard on
Sunday. We will begin work on the wicket and ground as soon as possible.There is not much left to do in the Sylhet venue. The floodlights and
the dressing-room are there to be completed. It is stalled due to
bureaucracy, so if it is delayed we will build it using BCB's finances,"
said Hassan.Bangladesh have already co-hosted the 2011 World Cup, including the
opening ceremony, but the BCB were not clear about there being a similar
programme ahead of the 2014 event.
