Zimbabwe refused Bangladesh's plea to arrange extra practice match during the Tigers' three-week long tour in the African country. In order to give the players a chance to acclimatise in the longer version cricket, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requested the East African counterpart to arrange a longer version match against Zimbabwe A team. They also requested them to make the scheduled three-dayer match to make four-dayer. Even the BCB was ready to give the all expenditure for the extra match.
The Zimbabwe however informed Bangladesh they are not in position to arrange an extra practice match due to the unavailability of the players who has been in holiday currently.
In the awkward situation Bangladesh requested them in an e-mail to give them an opportunity to practice in the ground two days ahead of the scheduled time. The BCB however is yet to get the answer of the mail. If Zimbabwe give the positive nod regarding this mail, Bangladesh will leave the country on July 23.
Bangladesh will play one-off Test match and five-match ODI series against Zimbabwe. They had not been in longer version cricket since played the Test against England in last June which meant the gap is almost 14 months. On the other hand, Zimbabwe will return to the Test cricket with this Test breaking the six years self-exile.
BCB initially decided to play some longer version matches against the provincial teams of South Africa before going to Zimbabwe. But later they skipped the decision avoiding the extra cost.
Meanwhile, the cricketers, who have been in intense practice session for the upcoming away series against Zimbabwe will gear up with a two-day practice match between them on Saturday at the ground adjacent to the BCB Academy. They would have to play just ground shot. Four Academy players will join with the cricketers to make 11-man squad since Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan are away from the country, while Jahirul Islam Omee had infection in his eyes which might cause his axe from the team when the selectors will announce the squad.
“He had infection in his eyes and the doctors will inform his latest condition day after tomorrow (Saturday),” chief selector Akram Khan said on Thursday.
The chief selector also informed that they might announce the team on 14 or 15 July.
“Announcing the team will depend on BCB. When they will give the nod, we'll send the list.”
