Friday, 25 August 2023
Shakib Al Hasan finally joined the practice session and met all of his teammates for the first time at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city on Thursday after being appointed as Bangladesh's ODI format captain, reports BSS.
He returned home on Monday after playing the Canada Global T20 tournament and LPL but the last two days were hectic for him as he was busy with some promotional activities and shooting for TVC.
Upon his return to the practice session, he held a special meeting with the coaching staff and players. A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official said in the meeting some special message was given like how they want to play against different opposition.
The cricketers' performance in the practice session was also reviewed in the meeting after watching their videos. The information was collected through the GPS kit which was attached with players during their training. This was the first time that BCB introduced GPS technology Tigers practice session.
The technology provided all kinds of information and the workload management of the cricketers like exactly how far a cricketer had run during practice, or what his heart rate was, even how many steps he had walked...all were transferred via GPS-technology to a laptop in the dressing room.
