Shamsur, Ayub added to BCB's 2016-17 High Performance Programme

Batsmen Shamsur Rahman and Marshall Ayub are among the 30 players named by the BCB to undertake specialised training camps in this year's High Performance programme.

BCB's national game development manager Nazmul Abedin said that the camp will take place whenever a specialist camp can be arranged within the HP programme and even during breaks between domestic and international tournaments in the 2016-17 season.

"This is the complete group of players in the High Performance programme," Abedin said. "Our core group has already started their training and the ones named today will be called up from time to time. It could be between tournaments or even during the HP programme when specialist coaches are available."

Former Bangladesh left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique will join the HP programme next week as a spin bowling consultant.

"Mohammad Rafique will be joining us next week. We are also trying to have former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mashud and [Gazi Group Cricketers coach] Mohammad Salahuddin in similar capacity," Abedin said. "They will work with the lead specialist coaches in the different departments."
