Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury announced names of the sponsoring organization at the BGB Banquet Hall in the capital Dhaka on Saturday (January 16) afternoon.

BCB director Jalal Younus, Managing Director of Lovello Ice Cream Engineer Ekramul Haque, Walton Group Executive Director Uday Hakim and Sanaul Arefin of Managing Partner ‘Mattra’.

Chief Executive Officer Nizamuddin, on behalf of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), thanked Lovello and Walton for sponsoring the series. BCB director Jalal Younus said, “We would not have been able to move forward without sponsors. Lovello has joined with us again after 2015 while Walton is always with us. We always get Walton by our side in domestic and international cricket.”

Mentioning that Walton will always come forward to improve cricket whenever BCB urges, Walton Group Uday Hakim Executive Director said, “I thank BCB and the Mattra Consortium. They have given Walton a chance to be in this series.”
