Australians not coming


When one receives a message that your opponents have cancelled their trip, being shocked is an understatement. Be it a cricket fan or the captain of the Test team, cancellation of Australia's upcoming tour must be a big disappointment.

Thankfully, someone was just trying to pull Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar's legs. Apparently, it was an April Fool's Day joke!

The rumour that the Aussies are not coming had spread like wild fire in the sports arena from the very beginning of the day. Everyone called the officials concerned to confirm if this 'breaking news' had any truth.

In the end, sanity prevailed and yes, the Australians will be coming to town on schedule.
