League Notes: Bangladesh Asks Fertilizer Factories To Shut Down For T20

Authorities in Bangladesh on Thursday "asked fertiliser factories to halt production in a bid to divert gas supply to power plants and ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup." State-owned Oil, Gas & Mineral Corp. Chair Mohammed Hussain Monsur said, "We have no other options but to shut down fertilizer factories for some time to ensure gas supply to power plants" (REUTERS, 3/13). ... The Andhra Pradesh Badminton Association "is formally set to split after decision to bifurcate the State by the Central government." The APBA, until now, "is catering to the needs of 23 districts." It "will soon have two associations -- one serving the interests of ten districts of Telangana and the other, the Seemandhra region" (THE HINDU, 3/13). ... The Int'l Cricket Council on Thursday "cleared top South African official Haroon Lorgat of involvement in comments made against the world body in a dispute over an India tour." India had protested to the ICC "accusing Lorgat of colluding with the then Cricket South Africa (CSA) legal consultant David Becker in a dispute over how many games India should play in a tour." ICC President Alan Isaac said, "The ICC notes and accepts the decision of the independent adjudicator" (AFP, 3/13).
