Staff Correspondent, ctg
Bangladesh and Zimbabwe teams arrived here in the port city yesterday to play the final two GDIs that will be held at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on the 3rd and 5th of November respectively. The visitors arrived at the Shah Amanat International Airport at 12:15pm while the home team arrived at 5:00pm. Both teams checked in at Peninsula hotel.
Zimbabwe team are scheduled to go for net practice in the morning while the Bangladesh team in the afternoon today.
The matches are taking place at a time when the stadium is awaiting the final International Cricket Council (ICC) recognition as one of the venues for the 2011 World Cup to be co-hosted by Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka.
The current GDI series has generated huge enthusiasm among the local fans when the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is also taking great care of the venue and other facilities.
It may be mentioned that an elevenmember delegation of the ICC expressed their satisfaction after inspecting pitch, logistics and media facilities of the venue last week.
The BCB is also making efforts to sort out a few things following suggestions from the ICC delegation to make sure that the stadium made it on the final list of World Cup venues that will be announced on 9th of November in Mumbai alongwith the fixtures of the tournament itself.
The organisers in Chittagong have made arrangements to ensure highest security for smooth holding of the two GDIs at the 14,000-capacity stadium.
Of the twenty entry points to the stadium, Gate Nos 05, 07, 09, 11 and 17 would remain open for gallery spectators, Gate Nos 02 and 04 for Special Enclosures and Gate Nos 18 and 20 for Club House spectators.
Tickets for the two matches would be available in advance at Agrabad, Panchlaish, Chandgaon and/or Nizam Road branches of Eastern Bank Limited. Besides, tickets would also be sold at the Stadium Counter (on the Customs Academy, side) from 7:30am to 4:00pm on match days.
Prices for tickets per person are fixed at Tk 300 for Club House, Tk 200 for Special Enclosures and Tk 100 for Gallery.
There would be sufficient food stalls in the gallery to help the spectators avoid trouble of carrying food to the divisional stadium located at the western outskirts of the city at Halishahar, informed the BCB in Chittagong.
Spectators have been requested not to carry any object inside the venue that can be used to cause harm or make any unruly action or chaos.
