Tigresses' Mirpur stay to continue

The Bangladesh women's cricket team have continued their training at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur instead of going to Chittagong to start an eight-week training camp as was originally scheduled.

Initially, the plan was to depart for Chittagong on August 6, but since the boys' Under-19 team will have a camp in BKSP instead of in Mirpur, the women's wing decided to continue the training at the country's premier cricket venue due to its availability.

The Tigresses are gearing up for the ICC Women's World Twenty20 in the West Indies in November.

 "We are not worried about the batting or bowling, but it's their fitness. Fitness helps in running between the wickets and also gives you confidence. We need to improve on converting singles to doubles," said assistant coach Devika Palshikar.
