Shakib, Tamim to train under Stuart Grant Law

Though the Zimbabwe bound national team have been in a three-day break, some cricketers including Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal will train under the supervision of head coach Stuart Law on Monday. Shakib missed out the whole fitness session and skill work under the guidance of fitness trainer Grant Luden due to the IPL and county commitment. He in fact missed the whole practice session and practice matches.
On the other hand Tamim though took part in the fitness session and skill work, he missed the last session and also the practice matches.
The swashbuckling opener also brought up groin injury during his first county stint. But after having scan on Sunday, it was all but clear that it was just slight niggles. He would be fit entirely within two or three days, according to BCB physician Dr. Devashis Chowdhury.
“The scan did not reveal anything dangerous. Hopefully he will be fit entirely within two or three days. He will bat tomorrow (Monday) and start running after three days. We hope he could play the practice match in Zimbabwe.”
The likes of Mohammad Ashraful, Shahriar Nafees, Rubel Hossain, Mahmudullah Ryad who are in now Dhaka will also train alongside Tamim and Shakib.
