Bangla Tigers begin camp in Chattogram

The Bangla Tigers team started a three-week camp at Chattogram yesterday, training at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) before the third and final ODI between Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

BCB officials informed that the team was expected back in Dhaka on August 1. The camp features 24 members, but four of them, including Soumya Sarkar and Mahedi Hasan, are expected to join the camp following the Emerging Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

Following fitness sessions for the first few days, the team will focus on a skills camp under Bangla Tigers head coach Sohel Islam. Batting consultant Jamie Siddons and fast-bowling coach Champaka Ramanayake will oversee and help with sessions.

"24 players were selected for the camp but four of them are currently with the Emerging Asia Cup squad in Sri Lanka. Thus there are 20 cricketers in the camp at the moment," a BCB official said.

Mosaddek Hossain posted a picture alongside Yasir Ali, Abu Haider Rony and a few others ahead of their departure for the camp yesterday.
