Tigers go to Bogra today


The Bangladesh cricket team leaves the city for Bogra this morning to play the first two day-night one-day internationals against Sri Lanka to be held on February 19 and 20 at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium.

After a weeklong practice in the capital, Habibul Bashar's men will have their final net sessions in Bogra.

They will travel by the team's own luxury bus, presented by GrameenPhone for the series.

"We could not have proper net sessions in Dhaka as the wickets at the Mirpur Stadium produced uneven bounce. I think our final practice at Bogra, especially in the nets would be more important for us," said Bashar yesterday.

National selectors on Friday announced a 15-member squad for the three-match one-day series.
