India, Bangladesh and Pakistan Tri Series 2008-09
India to play Tri-Series in Bangladesh in 2008-09
May 20, 2007
India have agreed to play a tri-series in Bangladesh with Pakistan as the third side in 2008 or 2009.
The matter was discussed at a meeting between the BCCI top brass and their counterparts in the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday night.
"We have agreed to play the tri-series in Bangladesh. I think it can be played in 2008 or 2009," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said on Sunday.
"We have to make some adjustments to the ICC calendar. BCB has readily agreed to all the conditions put before them," Shah said.
Shah is part of the high-level BCCI delegation, led by its president Sharad Pawar, which visited the port city at the invitation of the BCB to watch the second Test between the two countries.
The BCCI official said India was prepared to host Bangladesh for a full series in the near future.
"We are very much willing to call them. We want to help them. That`s the reason we have agreed to play the tri-series. Bangladesh is welcome to India," Shah said.
India have undertaken bi-lateral tours thrice to Bangladesh ever since the latter became a Test playing nation. However, Bangladesh are yet to play any ODI or Test match on Indian soil.
Meanwhile, Shah said the BCCI would also take the opinion of the senior cricketers of the Indian team before finalising a new coach for the national squad.
On Saturday, Sachin Tendulkar said the board should consider players` views before appointing a new coach.
The seven-member coach selection panel, headed by Pawar and including three former India captains - Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Srinivas Venkataraghavan - would meet in Bangalore on June 4 to take the final call.
"The decision may not come that day itself. We may need four or five days," Shah said.
India have been without a full-time coach since Greg Chappell resigned from the post after India's disastrous performance in the latest edition of the World Cup.
BCCI subsequently appointed Shastri as a stop-gap cricket manager for the team's ongoing tour to Bangladesh.
Outgoing Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore has emerged as a hot contender for the job, after he expressed his interest and held preliminary discussions with Shastri on Wednesday.
Pawar, however, insisted that he had not spoken to Whatmore during his trip.
Shah said the BCCI officials did not hold any discussions here with the players on the contracts issue, which has been hanging for for quite some time.
The board has formed a two-member committee, comprising BCCI's Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty and vice president Shashank Manohar to talk to the players on their reservations about certain provisions in the contracts that seek to introduce a performance-oriented payment system.
The meeting is slated to be held after the Indian cricketers return home from Bangladesh.
India in Bangladesh Cricket Series 2007
India Bangladesh First Test, Day Three: Rain prevents play
May 20, 2007  India were set to start day three of the first Test on 384-6 but play was abandoned before a ball was bowled.
Mahindra Dhoni (36) and Anil Kumble (1) will hope for better weather on Monday, but the forecast is not promising.
Inclement weather over the port city also forced last Tuesday's third and final one-day international to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, and with the first Test now almost certain to end in a draw, the series hangs on the second and final Test to be played in Dhaka from May 25.

Ganguly had earlier been dismissed for exactly 100 after the pair had shared a fourth wicket stand of 189.
Only 20 overs were possible in the day with play only starting at 4.30pm.
Play on the second day of the first cricket Test between India and Bangladesh began after a 5-1/2 hour delay due to rains. Play was not possible in both the morning and post-lunch sessions due to a soaked outfield caused by overnight and morning rains.
