Tigers start training for West Indies

Sports Reporter
The national cricketers will get back to business today at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur after a long break to prepare for the upcominghome series against West Indies.
It will be a big task for new head coach Stuart Law, who returned to Dhaka yesterday after his vacation, to rebuild confidence within the team after a disastrous tour to Zimbabwe where the Tigers lost both the one-off Test and five match one-day series and especially after the board removed Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal from their posts as captain and vice-captain following the debacle.
West Indies is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on October 4 to play a T20 International, two Tests and three one-day internationals.
As part of preparation, a limited-over competition named the BOB Cup will be contested by Bangladesh National Team, Bangladesh A team and GP-BCB National Cricket Academy. The competition will start from September 12.
The three-member selection committee led by Akram Khan named the three separate teams for the competition.
“We picked a 14-member national team for this competition but that is no indication of the team for the home series against West Indies because it will be a different one. We just tried to make sure that the players get enough opportunities
for match practice,” said Akram.
There had been a lot of criticism about the board's failure to ensure enough match practice for the team before the Zimbabwe tour, with many saying that it was one of the major reasons behind the debacle in Zimbabwe.
And that is why the BCB has been trying to arrange some practice matches against a strong foreign team from the subcontinent but there is a very slim chance that the players will get the opportunity as the BCB did not get any positive response from its Pakistan and Sri Lanka counterparts.
