A 15-member Bangladesh team will travel to Chattogram today for the one-off Test against Afghanistan, starting November 5.

The Tigers concluded their training camp with a two-day practice match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.

The experienced Mahmudullah Riyad shone bright for Bangladesh Red. First, he smashed a patient hundred with the bat before returning with the ball to scalp three wickets as Bangladesh Green were bundled out for just 125 runs on the second and final day of the game.

After Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain sparked Bangladesh Red with four and three wickets respectively, the third seamer in Bangladesh's squad, Abu Jayed, impressed with the ball. He bagged three wickets for Bangladesh Green while conceding just 22 runs from his ten overs.

Mosaddek Hossain's fifty was the highest scorer for the Green team as none of the batsman were able to score significantly.
