The Sylhet camp will prove pivotal for Bangladesh as they attempt to improve on their sole victory at the most recent Women's Cricket World Cup in 2022, with the side looking to finalise their 15-player squad for the 50-over showcase at the start of next month.
The practice matches under lights in Sylhet will also be crucial for the side, who are scheduled to play all seven of their World Cup games at this year's event under similar conditions as day-night contests.
Upon arriving in Colombo, Bangladesh are scheduled to take on South Africa and Sri Lanka in warm-up matches for the World Cup ahead of their tournament opener with Pakistan on October 2.
The upcoming tournament will be just the second time Bangladesh have played at a Women's World Cup, following their seventh-placed finish in New Zealand during their inagural appearance in 2022.
