Blast scares WI U-19s

Sports Reporter
Bangladesh Cricket Board has increased the security for the West W * Indian 11-19 contingent after a bomb explosion took place on Saturday night near Hotel Agrabad in Chittagong, where the tourists are currently residing.
The country is currently witnessing continues strikes and blockades accompanied with bomb blasts in various parts of the country.
The blast at around 7.30pm stirred panic among the West Indian players and officials, who decided not to play the second ODI, scheduled to take place at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium yesterday, due to security concerns.
What followed next were a string of discussions between the West Indian team management and BCB officials,
after which it was decided that the match would now take place today.
'There is nothing to panic about. This is a one-off incident. The teams were secure at that point. We met them and discussed the security issues yesterday. We will further increase the security levels for the second ODI," said BCB acting CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury.
The West Indian Cricket Board (WICB) in a press release stated that the WICB management would be in constant touch with the team manager and will 'continue to receive regular briefings' on the security scenario.
The players and members of team management were not targeted and were not in any immediate danger as a result of the incident. The team gathered shortly after the incident and are safe at their team hotel and have been afforded additional security protec-
tion, " the release stated.
"WICB security manager Paul Slowe will formally assess the situation and provide a report to the WICB. The WICB is contacting the parents and guardians of all the players to provide further updates," it further stated.
Bangladesh will be hosting the ICC World Twenty20 in three months time and the incident has taken place at a time when the security issues are being monitored by the ICC.
The last time a day's play—including an international team—was postponed in Bangladesh was in September last year when the second day of the four-day match between Bangladesh A and the West Indies High Performance Squad was deferred due to a daylong strike in Dhaka.
The West Indies U19 arrived in Bangladesh last week to play seven ODIs against their Bangladesh counterparts.
