Zimbabwe and Kenya to participate

Bangladesh to host one-day series

Cricinfo staff

July 4, 2005

Bangladesh are planning to stage a one-day tournament in December in a bid to improve their one-day ranking. At the moment, Bangladesh are 11th in the ICC's rankings, but this will improve to 10th in the coming weeks as some of Kenya's wins are expunged from the calculations.

Under the ICC's new rules for Champions Trophy qualification, Bangladesh need to be in the top 10 to be part of the play-off between countries ranked from No. 7 to 10 to decide one of two places in the competition.

To help do this, Ali Ashgar Lobi, the Bangladesh Cricket Board's president, told reporters that the board would be looking to stage a triangular one-day series involving Kenya and Zimbabwe, two sides immediately above them in the rankings. Although sources in Kenya indicated that this series would take place in the second week of November, Lobi said that it would be in December or January.

Lobi hinted that Chittagong might get the chance of hosting the tournament as there will be no venue in Dhaka at that time.
