Bangladeshi cricketers are excited to get back into a proper training schedule, leaving behind the individual training session as they are expected to get into bio bubble from today.
Notably, 27-member of Bangladesh squad will enter the bio-bubble environment from January 20 ahead of their Sri Lanka tour for the proposed three-match Test series.
BCB already hired two floors to keep the cricketers and the supporting staff for the tour while the board officials insisted that the hotel staffs that are expected to work with the team will be living in a separate dormitory and they have completed the test of the drivers expected to carry the cricketers from hotel to the ground as well.
BCB is planning a week-long residential camp ahead of the tour that will mark the resumption of competitive cricket for both sides. The residential camp is set to begin from September 21. The BCB will conduct the next COVID-19 tests on September 21 and 24 respectively and the final test 72 hours before they take the flight to Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh Test skipper Mominul Haque said that he is not worried to get into a bio-bubble as eventually it gives them a chance to have some proper training session under their belt.
"No worries, just seeing that no one is getting a chance to play at least we will get a chance to play. I think this is the biggest thing," said Mominul on Saturday. "We are focused much on that as we will get a chance to play. We are practicing in our own country as we have a chance of playing a series."
"It is working more without looking any other direction. There are must be some different, playing is the actual thing. We have been out of playing for a long time. We will get back to play, this is the biggest thing," he said.
Middle order-batsman Mohammad Mithun also echoed the same as well.
"Now, everything is new and we have adapted to everything during the last six months that was not normal and as could do that we are expecting to adapt to it[ going into the bio-bubble]," he said. "I am not worried because we are struggling for the last six months for being without cricket and we are very excited to return back."
Bangladesh's tour of Sri Lanka, which was earlier scheduled for July-August, was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They're now expected to travel to Sri Lanka on September 27, with the first of the three Tests beginning on October 23.
