NOTTINGHAM, England (AFP) — Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons lashed out at his team after their first round exit from the World Twenty20, saying they were not willing to learn.

"It was ridiculous batting," Australian Siddons said after Bangladesh were restricted to a modest 137-8 by minnows Ireland, who won by six wickets to book their place in the Super Eights.

I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I am grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum.
