Bangladesh cricket team kicked off their practice session at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday ahead of the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan.

The Bangladesh team reached the United Arab Emirates in two separate groups with the last group reached on Sunday.

However, two Tiger players Nahid Rana and Nasum Ahmed couldn't leave the country with the last group yesterday due to visa complicacy. They are yet to obtain the visa, a BCB official informed.

The first match of the series is scheduled to begin on November 6. The last two ODIs are on November 9 and 11.

With the series, Bangladesh also will start their preparation for the next year's ICC Champions Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan.
