World Cup security chiefs promise rock solid defence

REUTERS, Feb 17, 2011, 07.26pm IST



MUMBAI: Never mind the players or fans, it is the security chiefs responsible for the safety of the teams and hundreds of thousands of spectators who so far sound most confident ahead of the Cricket World Cup.

The six-week festival of cricket in the subcontinent begins in Dhaka on Saturday with a meeting between joint hosts Bangladesh and India and will be followed by 48 matches culminating in the final in Mumbai on April 2.

The tournament is also being played in Sri Lanka. International Cricket Council (ICC) chief Haroon Lorgat, the man ultimately responsible for the safe delivery of the World Cup, described security as a "non issue". He said the ICC had all the necessary arrangements with governments and police forces in place.

"We have gained enormous amounts of experience over the last few years. In fact, safety and security does not seem to be an issue for anyone," he said.

"We are mature in our processes, we're very robust as a consequence of the experience we've gained. We've got systems in place, we've got personnel in place.

"It's an issue that certainly would have concerned me and engaged me a lot in the past. It's fair to say that because of the maturity we've reached in that area it's in fact a non-issue."

As Lorgat concedes, security had been anything but a non-issue not long ago in cricket which has a recent bloody record in the sub-continent.

Less than two years ago the touring Sri Lankan team were ambushed by gunmen in Pakistan and six policemen were killed and seven players and officials were injured in the shootout.

A driver in one of the team buses was also killed. Security in Mumbai has never been far from its residents' minds either since the late November day in 2008 when co-ordinated shooting attacks resulted in 164 deaths and more than 300 being wounded.

Mumbai does not host its first match until March 13 and security in the city has been low key with the vast majority of non-Indian cricket fans yet to make their way to the city.

U.K. Bansal, Secretary, Internal Security, told Reuters he too was satisfied that India was prepared.

"We are as of now having no special cause of concern for security in these matches from the terrorist angle," he said.

He added that each state in India was responsible for policing and general security arrangements with his department taking an overview.

Delhi had asked for, and received, extra back-up for the World Cup as it had other police commitments in the city which required resources, Bansal added.

SIGNIFICANT ROLE

Indian and ICC officials declined to reveal the personnel and precise security arrangements in place -- each match will be different, according to Bansal.

However, Bangladeshi officials revealed armed forces will play a significant role there.

A strike force unit comprising commandos and infantry troops will maintain its security, defence officials said.

"The strike force will also be equipped with helicopters from Bangladesh Air Force and the army aviation unit," Brigadier General Matiur Rahman told reporters.

Members of the elite Rapid Action Battalion and police conducted a mock security drill at Shere Bangla National Stadium, the match venue, last Saturday.

Similar drills are being executed at hotels and other places where players and their fans are expected to gather during the tournament.

"We are dedicated to maintain tight security for players, cricket officials and foreign guests expected to visit the country," he said.

Six group matches and two quarter-finals will be played in Dhaka and Chittagong.

Sri Lankan security is traditionally tight -- with or without the Cricket World Cup being played within its borders.

Although Sri Lanka's 25-year war with the separatist Tamil Tigers ended in May 2009, security remains tight even if the country is no longer on a war footing.

Soldiers still man checkpoints across Sri Lanka, and the police force retains its battle-hardened Special Task Force, trained in commando operations.

"I can ensure the security of the players and the spectators and there is no need to worry about the security as we can guarantee the security," Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage said.

"We have deployed specialised, trained people to provide the security following a special meeting with the IGP (Inspector General of Police)."

Gaps in matches will help field best players: Dhoni

IANS, Feb 17, 2011, 06.46pm IST



DHAKA: The long gaps between the World Cup fixtures have come in for criticism from some quarters, but Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels the breaks will help teams to field their best players.

Dhoni, who reached here with the team for the opening match against Bangladesh on Saturday, made light of the pressure of playing the World Cup at home.

The wicket-keeper batsman, who led the team to victory in the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup, said that any team can win the 11th edition of cricket's mega event.

"It is an open World Cup. All teams are in good form. The way the format has been prepared, there are long breaks. If players have any niggles, they can recover in time for the next match. The fixture is such that the best XI can be easily fielded," Dhoni said at a press conference where captains of all 14 competing nations were present.

Asked whether the pressure of playing at home will weigh them down, Dhoni said pressure is part of Indian cricket team.

"I think this (pressure) is part and parcel of Indian cricket. We get appreciated a lot and also get criticism. I think we have to accept that."

When asked about Suresh Raina missing the team bus to the airport for the morning flight from Chennai to Dhaka, Dhoni responded in a lighter vein. Raina later reached the airport in a car.

"If one or two is missing, it is not a big deal when we have 15 in the team. The important thing is that everyone should catch the flight," Dhoni said.

Dhoni wished all the participating teams luck and hoped the visitors will have enjoyable time.

"I hope it will be a fine World Cup. Cricket is very popular in the subcontinent and people will enjoy the next 43 days of cricket. For others who are coming here, I wish them a happy stay and enjoy the hospitality of the subcontinent."

Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara said they are excited to play in front of home crowd.

"I think we will do better than all other teams. It is great to play at home. There is lot of passion for the game in the subcontinent. What is important for us is that we are playing in the home ground. The way the format is prepared, the matches from quarterfinal onwards are most important."

World Cup wide open: Captains

AFP, Feb 17, 2011, 05.19pm IST



DHAKA: Graeme Smith of South Africa and India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni joined a chorus of World Cup skippers predicting a closely contested tournament that will thrill players and fans alike.

At a rare assembly of all 14 captains for a photo-shoot and media conference in Dhaka on Thursday ahead of cricket's showpiece event, the general refrain was that it was impossible to choose a winner.

"I believe every team taking part has a chance to win, it is all very open," Smith said at the function that took place a few hours before the opening ceremony at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Added Dhoni: "All teams are in good touch. The gap between matches will help players recover from niggles which are bound to happen. It means every team will be in good shape for their matches.

"A side that plays consistently well over the next six weeks will do well."

Ricky Ponting, whose Australia won the last three World Cups, was the first off the blocks in making his opening remarks before the floor was thrown open to the media.

"On behalf of the 13 other captains, I welcome the cricket fraternity to the World Cup," said Ponting. "It is the pinnacle of our sport and we will make sure it is a spectacle to remember."

Dhoni, speaking on behalf of the three host nations -- India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka -- said it was fitting the tournament was being held in South Asia where cricket was a major sport.

"I welcome the other teams and hope they will enjoy our hospitality. The interest in cricket in this part of the world is unmatched. I am sure everyone will have a great time."

England's Andrew Strauss said his team's narrow 16-run win over minnows Canada in a practice match on Wednesday, showed how close this tournament could be.

"The conditions here a lot different from what we faced in Australia recently," he said. "The key will be how quickly a side can adapt to the conditions.

"Our game against Canada showed there will be no easy fixtures at the World Cup, which will go to make a great tournament."

Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara said it was helpful to play in familiar conditions, but that did not guarantee a win.

"One has to do better than all teams to win the tournament," he said. "It is great playing at home and front of our own crowds.

"The format is such that it you make the quarter-finals, you need to play great in two matches to reach a World Cup final."

The 14 teams are divided into two groups for the preliminary league, with the top four in each group advancing to the knock-out rounds.

Reigning champions Australia are pooled with Sri Lanka, Pakistan, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Canada in group A.

The other group comprises India, South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland and the Netherlands.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said there was no pressure on his team to beat India in Saturday's opening match at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium on the outskirts of Dhaka.

"Fans do expect a lot but there is no pressure on us," he said. "It's not just about winning the first game, but doing well in all our matches."
