Sylhet to get int’l cricket venue by 2012

[BD_TigerZ]

Its gonna turn out rubbish like any other hyped stadium has. None of Stand out as the "best"...

The hill will remain. The stadium is situated in one of the scenic area of Sylhet. Very close to Lakkatura Tea Estate. The ground was part of a Golf course. It is so close to Osmani International Airport that you can fly in from Dhaka (30-45 minute) watch the game and take the evening flight back providing domestic careers like "Regent" and "United" take advantage on a international match day.

Looks meh. Boring. Why can't they change the design for once, FGS?

The structure is already there. By changing the design Sylhet's chance of hosting any international match in next 10 years will be burnt to ashes. As a Sylhetty myself I dont want to see that happening. I would like to see a good quality stadium not a sky scrapper that will be unused for 364 days out of 365 days.

I am not asking for a skyscraper, happy with one tier stands! I just want it to have it's own identity in terms of architecture. The hills are there but perhaps, they could have gone with something unique instead of those boring roof which are already present at Mirpur and probably, Chittagong.

I would like to keep the hill but it needs a touch from good landscape architect.

Ofcourse possible.... Espacially those open spacese left.... But i dont think it should... Becas of nature beauty..

[One World]

I am worried too, but not about the look and structure, more about the frenzied and fanatical nature of hardcore followers of Sylheti politics.

নিউজিল্যান্ড সিরিজের ম্যাচ সিলেটেও!

টি-টোয়েন্টি বিশ্বকাপের প্রস্তাবিত ভেন্যু সিলেট বিভাগীয় স্টেডিয়াম। তবে বিশ্বকাপের আগেই প্রথম আন্তর্জাতিক ম্যাচ আয়োজন করে ফেলতে পারে এই মাঠ। আগামী অক্টোবরে সিরিজে নিউজিল্যান্ডের বিপক্ষে এ মাঠে একটি ওয়ানডে ও একটি টি-টোয়েন্টি ম্যাচ আয়োজনের চিন্তা করছে বিসিবি।

প্রস্তাবিত খসড়া অনুযায়ী ১ অক্টোবর বাংলাদেশে আসার পর চট্টগ্রামে একটি প্রস্তুতি ম্যাচ ও প্রথম টেস্ট খেলবে নিউজিল্যান্ড দল। এরপর ঢাকায় এসে খেলবে দ্বিতীয় টেস্ট ও প্রথম দুটি ওয়ানডে। তিন ম্যাচ ওয়ানডে সিরিজের শেষ ম্যাচটি হতে পারে সিলেটে, সঙ্গে একমাত্র টি-টোয়েন্টি ম্যাচটিও। বিসিবির এই পরিকল্পনা বাস্তবায়ন অবশ্য নির্ভর করছে সিলেটকে আন্তর্জাতিক ভেন্যু হিসেবে আইসিসির স্বীকৃতি প্রদানের ওপর। সিলেট স্টেডিয়াম শেষ পর্যন্ত প্রস্তুত না হলে ফতুল্লাতেও হতে পারে নিউজিল্যান্ড সিরিজের ম্যাচ।
