Tigers begin closed-door practice session
Monday, 14 August 2023
The Bangladesh national cricketers began a closed-door practice session as they gear up for the upcoming Asia Cup, reports BSS.
They will continue the closed-door session, which doesn't allow any media or media session, till August 17.
This is not the first time, the Bangladesh team is doing a closed-door session, which the big teams also do ahead of the important tournaments.
Earlier, Bangladesh had a closed door session in Sylhet ahead of Afghanistan series.
During their closed door practice session, the players experiment with different shots or different types of bowling as they want to hone their skills. They fail to execute most of the time while experimenting the skills.
Naturally, a skill is developed after a lot of practice and failure.
For the last three times, when the Asia Cup was held in one-day format, the Tigers moved to the final but never could win the trophy.
Bangladesh had already announced the team for the Asia Cup, including Tanzid Hasan Tamim and brining up Shamim Patwari for the first time in ODI format.
The hybrid model Asia Cup will start on August 30. Bangladesh drawn in Group B, will play their first match against co-host Sri Lanka on August 31 at Kandy and will take on Afghanistan in the second game on September 03 at Lahore in Pakistan.
Two teams from each group will move up in the second round to form a Super Four where each team will face off each other before the two teams with highest points will play the final.
