---

The 15-member Bangladesh national cricket team, led by Mohammad Ashraful, reached Sylhet Friday to undergo an extensive training for the Twenty20 World Cup.
The week-long residential training camp begins today (Saturday) at the warfare wing of the Bangladesh Army's School of Infantry and Tactics (SI&T) at Jalalabad Cantonment, reports UNB.
Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful said: "Such training is completely new to us. This will benefit us both physically and mentally."
On completion of the training, the national cricketers will make their net practices in Dhaka before leaving for Kenya on August 29 to play in a proposed tri-nation Twenty20 cricket tournament, involving Pakistan, Bangladesh and hosts Kenya.
Bangladesh, placed in Group A of the first-ever Twenty20 World Cup with South Africa and West Indies, will play their first match against West Indies on September 13 in Johannesburg.
