Sound like a good Idea, I hope Shah Rukh Khan and the BCB can get this done

June 6: Bangladesh are upset that their players were "ignored" for the Indian Premier League but hope that the doors will open next year.

In the lead-up, they plan to bring a dash of the IPL’s flavour to this country and efforts are on to arrange a match between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Bangladesh Tigers.

A local organisation here is reportedly taking the initiative and it is learnt that a proposal has already been sent to the Knight Riders CEO for the one-off tie.

"The IPL was a super hit here. So much so that the cricket board is going to introduce a Twenty20 championship at school level," said a source close to Bangladesh Cricket Board.

"But people here are aggrieved at the fact that nobody from the Bangladesh team got a call up. We supported Dada’s (Sourav Ganguly) team. It will be a full-house if they come here."

But the packed itinerary could be a deterrent. After the home tri-series, Bangladesh go to Pakistan for the Asia Cup and then to Australia in August.

India too have a chock-a-block schedule.

Fans, however, believe that the Sourav-Shah Rukh Khan combine can work magic.
