Wills International Cup Roundup

26 October 1998
- New Zealand batsman Craig McMillan narrowly escaped penalty after
an ICC Official Hearing in Dhaka yesterday morning. McMillan was
accused of dissent after being given out caught at the wicket by Match
Umpire Steve Bucknor in yesterday's Wills International Cup match
against Zimbabwe. Match Referee Raman Subba Row decided that although
there were mitigating factors relating to whether the appeal was for a
stumping or a catch at the wicket, there had been some degree of
unacceptable dissent. However, the only penalty imposed was a severe
reprimand, and a warning as to future conduct, and McMillan will not
face any suspension.
- India and West Indies, two former world champions, arrived in
Dhaka Sunday afternoon. Led by its successful captain Mohammad
Azharuddin, the Indian contingent arrived at Zia International Airport
at about 3.30 pm. The West Indies squad also arrived at the airport
on board the same flight. Two members of the Australian squad also
arrived in the city Sunday by a Thai International flight while four
other members of the team are expected to be here by Monday. The rest
of the Australian team, now touring Pakistan, will come on October 27
along with the Pakistan team.
