Tigers get two practice games

The Tigers will start their August-September Caribbean journey with a one-day practice match on August 17 at the Progress Park in Grenada.
Mushfiqur Rahim's men, who have experienced a turbulent year so far, losing one match after another, will leave the country on August 12 to play three ODIs, one T20I and two Tests during their 37-day stay.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday officially released the itinerary, in which a three-day practice match was also included before the two-match Test series, for the Tigers' third visit to the Caribbean to play a full series.
Bangladesh earlier visited the country in 2004 and 2009 for full series.
The national selectors already announced a preliminary squad, and the players are now going through fitness training with skill practice expected to start shortly as new head coach Chandika Hathurusingha was expected to arrive last night.
According to sources the new coach is yet to give any clear planning for the training but there is a chance that the players will play two limited-overs practice matches before the Eid break, which is likely to start from July 24.
This series will be the first test for the Sri Lankan coach as he had only played an observing role during the three-match ODI series against India and everybody will looking to see how he handles the team without star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who has been banned for six months for breaching the players code of conduct.
The national selectors will announce a final team for the ODI and T20I series by first week of August and the Test team will be announced later.
