Unfinished roof construction work could jeopardise Eden Garden's chances of hosting the three remaining World Cup matches as the local cricket association has categorically conveyed to the International Cricket Council (ICC) that it was not possible to cover all the stands ahead of the matches next month as now demanded by the ICC. The ICC sent an email to the Cricket Association of Bengal through the BCCI on Sunday night, asking the staging association to complete "remaining roof construction work, besides covering work in the two rebuilt stands by Feb 14". "But how is that possible in such a short time? Even the Lords ground does not have cover over all the stands," said a CAB official. "Eighty per cent of the blocks in the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium at Dhaka's Mirpur do not have any shade. u00a0 "We had made it clear to the ICC at the outset that we will not put any roof over these stands. Then they did not say anything. Now at the 11th hours, they are making these demands," claimed the CAB official.
