Tigers launch campaign on Sunday

The Bangladesh cricket team take on Bermuda on Sunday in their first match of the warm-up tri-series in Antigua.

"We have had some very tough training. We are literally having three training sessions everyday," said Bashar over phone from St. John's.

Bashar also informed that they have decided to leave out Javed Omer, Rajin Saleh and Syed Rasel for the match against Bermuda.

"We have not finalised the eleven for the match but Javed, Rajin and Rasel are not playing. Mashrafe (Mortaza) and Rajib (Shahadat Hossain) have slight niggles, one in the foot and the other in his toes but they are not serious and both had trained yesterday. Still, we'll see them in today's practice before selecting the team. Rasel had fever yesterday and did not train," he informed.
