Selectors pick practice squad today
The national selectors will decide on the size of the practice squad today for Bangladesh's coming home series against South Africa.
The Rafiqul Alam-led selection panel will take the decision after getting an opinion from coach Jamie Siddons, who returns to Dhaka today after enjoying a holiday in Australia.
"We will give the final squad sometimes in the first week of February but before that, we will announce a squad for practice. Now we have to know how many players the coach needs for that. We will meet tomorrow to discuss everything," said Rafiqul yesterday.
The practice for the home series will start from February 1 at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
There is, however, hardly any chance to see any major changes from the squad that played in New Zealand where the Tigers were whitewashed in both the one-day and the Test series.
South Africa will arrive in Dhaka on February 14 to play three one-day internationals and two Tests against Mohammad Ashraful's men. The visitors will also play a three-day and one limited-overs warm-up games during their month-long stay.
