Big cricket tourney in Bangladesh

The cricket authorities in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, have announced that Bangladesh will host an international tournament later this year.

The chairman of the Bangladeshi Cricket Board, Sab Hussain Chowdhury, said all the test playing countries will take part in the tournament, which will start in October.

The tournament was due to take place last September, but was cancelled because it was due to be held in the rainy season.
