Dhaka, Feb 17 (bdnews24.com) — Chaos marked the joint press conference of the captains of 14 cricket-playing countries ahead of the opening ceremony.
The skippers gathered at the press conference at Sheraton Hotel on Thursday afternoon.
The special meet-the-press programme began around 15 minutes behind the schedule and was marred by chaos as photographers sitting in middle of the winter garden room started taking photos haphazardly.
Even TV cameras could not cover the stage where the captains were sitting.
