The one-day international (ODI) series against Afghanistan is scheduled to begin on July 5, therefore Bangladesh’s attention has shifted to the white-ball design.
Because one-day internationals are the most significant format, key players have been suffering from injuries, which has been a problem. However, selector Abdur Razzak has said that they are optimistic about Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal being ready for the series against Afghanistan. In addition to this, and maybe even more crucially, they are concentrating on maintaining their availability for alternative plans.
Shakib had an injury to his finger during the series against Ireland in England, while Tamim experienced lower back trouble before to the test against Afghanistan, which resulted in his being ruled out of participation in the match.
“Shakib is doing really well in his recovery. Since our previous meeting, Tamim has made significant progress, and he has already started practicing and hitting. Yesterday, Razzak made the following statement to the media: “We are hoping to get them in the next series, but it is still up to the medical team.”
Despite the fact that both stars will be participating in the One-Day International series against Afghanistan, the BCB is eager to concentrate on backup alternatives in case either player sustains an injury. Zakir Hasan, who was scheduled to play in the one-day international series that Afghanistan was hosting against Ireland but was forced to withdraw due to injury, was not selected to play for Afghanistan in the one-day international series. His current form, along with that of Mohammad Naim, has helped boost their prospects of being used as backup options for the Afghanistan ODI team, with Naim already having played in some of those games.
“Zakir has a chance of doing well in white-ball, and he is in good form at the moment, which is important for us. We are looking forward to seeing how he performs.” There is nothing particularly noteworthy about the fact that we need players in accordance with the mix of teams, but be assured that nobody is being left out. Because of his recent successes, we are debating whether or not it would be beneficial to involve him in our white-ball strategies.
There are not many opportunities to make changes to the ODI configuration. The Premier League was a successful competition for Naim. The way his case is set up ensures that there will always be a player available in the event that there is an issue. “If we didn’t have players ready, we would have been in a difficult situation,” Razzak said yesterday. Tamim suffered an injury unexpectedly before the test against Afghanistan.
Razzak insisted that there was a challenge for players of Anamul Haque Bijoy’s caliber to ‘break into the side,’ despite the fact that he was not eliminated from the equation.
According to Razzak, certain adjustments may be necessary because of injuries or performances that have occurred since the group that will compete in the Asia Cup was intended to also compete in the World Cup.
“Because there is the possibility of injury or performance, we have to be transparent about a few different aspects.”
The team that will compete in the Emerging Asia Cup in Sri Lanka adds validity to the concept that such backup possibilities should be given the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities in the lead up to the World Cup.
However, due to a number of schedule conflicts, the BCB has decided to host the Tigers’ World Cup preparatory camp in their native country of Bangladesh instead of India. After competing in the Asia Cup in September, the Tigers will start their training camp the following month in August.
“The first ten to twelve days will be devoted to receiving instruction in various skills. Although we have not yet settled on a location for the event, our first ideas are to have it in either Sylhet or Chattogram. Jalal Yunus, the head of cricket operations, made the following statement to the media yesterday: “The rest of the time, that includes fitness and other training sessions, are likely to take place in Dhaka until the end of August.”
