Seven report in BKSP
The thirty cricketers, called for the residential camp as part of
Bangladesh's preparation for the forth-coming World Cup, have reported
at the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) office yesterday.
But out of the primarily selected 30, only seven have travelled to
join the camp at Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) in Savar
yesterday. It was learnt that most of the players stayed back to
comply with their club commitments.
Gordon Greenidge, the West Indian coach of the national team, now has
former captain Akram Khan, Mehrab Hossain, Naimur Rahman, Neeyamur
Rashid, Hasibul Hossain, Enamul Haque and wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud
to start the month-long training.
Although Gordon wanted the whole team together for an uninterrupted
training session from February 1 to prepare the final squad, his
desire was not fulfilled for the cricketers involvement in the
on-going Premier League.
