An International Cricket council (ICC) delegation comprising its events manager Chris Tetley, tournament co-ordinator Dhiraj Malhotra, stadium consultant Van Vuuren Eugene and pitch expert Andy Atkinson arrived at Dhaka on Friday for a final inspection of the country’s World Cup venues.

This delegation, headed by Tetley, inspected the national cricket ground in Mirpur on Saturday.

There will be two matches each day in this stadium  So 2 dressing rooms won’t be sufficient for that. So, we need 2 more, Tetley said after the inspection.
