India sends a three-member team today to assess a watertight security promised by Bangladesh for tlie cricketers across the border following an unverified threat letter of a so-called Islamist outfit on Saturday.
The Indian cricket team, scheduled to fly in December 7, has deferred its trip for a day until an all-clear sign arrives from die security leant

the respective ministries are not adequately staffed or equipped to sketch out detailed study on Saarc economic union, sources say.
Earlier, Foreign Minister M M^hl»d..Khan JuuLtold. repou <^s t that the idea of a Saarc economic union still exists in embryonic form. It would gain a good going only after the implementation of die South Asian Free Trade Area (Safta).

"Already we sent letters to the ICC, the Indian cricket board and the Indian High Commission assuring them of adequate security," he said.
Finance Minister M Saifur Rahman, who is now in New Delhi, told reporters that the matches should proceed smoothly ignoring 'spurious fax messages'.
"I am surprised at the jumpy reaction on such a spurious fax message," he said.
The popular game in both neighbouring countries took a back seat when the Indian I ligh Commission in Dhaka on Saturday confirmed that they had received a letter in which a group threatened to kill the touring Indian cricketers.
The error-riddled letter carrying the name of Harkat-ul Jahad (Harkat-uLJihad), came in poor handwriting and < the style of the threat has been pretty common InBangladesh over the last few months and in most cases, they have been found to be acts of pranksters.
India are scheduled to play two Tests and three one-day internationals during their 21-day tour.
Bangladesh played its inaugural Test against India in November 2000. This is India’s first full series, with the first Test starting at Bangabandhu National Stadium on December 9.
