Bangladesh women’s team are set to begin their preparation for the upcoming Asian Games in September as the Tigresses will be heading to Sylhet next Sunday to begin their fitness training.
The team is slated to begin camp on August 14 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The members of the national team had undergone screening tests at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday and are will undergo the Yo-Yo fitness test on Friday at the same venue, according to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials.
The 26-member squad for the upcoming camp will train in Sylhet till the end of August.
During their recent home series against India, quite a few youngsters were given the opportunity to showcase their skills with the team management’s idea being to plan for the 2024 T20 World Cup which is to be hosted by Bangladesh.
A few results have been disappointing, and the team management has now identified the need for reinforcing the value of fitness ahead of the Asian Games.
“The camp is going to be all about fitness. We need to get a lot better even as we have done well recently,” a member of the team management told The Daily Star yesterday.
The camp in Sylhet would be followed by more training schedules as the Tigresses hope for a good showing in the Asian Games.
