Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday reacted sharply to Pakistan cricket chief's desire to host the 2014 World Twenty20, the event that has already been awarded to Bangladesh by the game's governing body, the International Cricket Council.
"It's really funny because this event has already been given to Bangladesh. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) bid for the meet and got the right way back in 2006. I think the Pakistan cricket chief was unaware about the fact," responded Jalal Yunus, BCB's director and media committee chairman.
"We are really surprised by the comments of Pakistan cricket chief," he added.
Speaking to South Africa's English-language newspaper the News in Johannesburg, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt said that they would bid to host the 2014 World Twenty20 Championship and vowed to revive international cricket in the troubled nation.
