MUMBAI, FEB 22
There is massive anticipation surrounding the Asia XI vs World XI matches which are scheduled to be played on March 18 and 21 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The two matches will be played to honour the 100th anniversary of Sheikh Majibur Rahman, who is regarded as the father of Bangladesh. Rahman served as Bangladesh’s first president and was also the prime minister of the country from April 17, 1971 to August 15, 1975. While there were reports floating around that BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has sent four Indian names for the much-awaited match with Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Shikhar Dhawan and Kuldeep Yadav set to be part of the games in Bangladesh. However, Ganguly has now confirmed that no names have been sent to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for the two matches while adding that the names will depend on players’ availability.
