Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is facing problem to fix the date of the proposed Tri-angular tournament this winter.

It will probably be wise for us not arrange this tournament this year, just to be in the safe side for Champions Trophy. Hypothetically, if Kenya wins all matches all the way to final, they may move above us. Why risk it!

If am sorry to sound like a chicken, but I am being realistic here.
