Sick Cordy flies home


Bangladesh national cricket team fitness trainer Justin Cordy had to leave for Melbourne on Monday after suffering a neurological problem.

"On the team's return from Sri Lanka at the conclusion of the Asia Cup Justin Cordy suddenly experienced blackouts. It was evident that he had developed a neurological problem that required specialist investigation and extensive tests to diagnose the exact nature of the problem," a statement issued by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), said yesterday.

As a result of these events coach Dav Whatmore will return to Dhaka earlier (August 5) to take charge of the national squad preparations, the press statement added.
