ICC World Cup 2011 opens

Fourteen captains rode around the arena in cycle-rickshaws and breathtaking laser shows simulated the experience of the 22-yard pitch as the cricket World Cup got off to a rousing start here Thursday evening, showcasing the diverse cultures of the three South Asian neighbours co-hosting the mega event.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina declared the tournament open by placing her hand on a palm scanner which triggered off a high-voltage
fireworks display much to the joy of around 25,000 spectators at the packed Bangabandhu Stadium here.

“I declare the ICC World Cup open,” said Hasina, hoping the mega event would help strengthen fraternal ties between the cricketing countries and said Bangladesh felt privileged to co-host the big event
