Yes, its a peculiar moronic problems with those stadiums that Cox's Bazar or Chittagong Divisional Stadium wont have. Moreover, if it was an idea of an ex Awami League administrator,,, certainly the government will revert to that idea than anything else. All in all, the more stadiums the better we are but I hope they also spend more money in players development than having more ways to release Tenders for infrastructure projects...

BNP didn't host many matches at bogra either. i guess they the CTG took over before they had many chances. but still. IMO, we are too small a cricket nation to need a ton of venues like india. we need just 3 or max 4. dhaka and chittagong will always get the tests, until we host a 3 test series...but that means we should play ODIs at bogra or khulna or at Cox's bazaar.
in particular the Bogra stadium is a sparkling beauty that we should take more opportunities to project as our national image.
