Bangladesh Cricket Board is expecting an increase in number of participating cricketers in the second phase of individual practice sessions is set to start on Saturday at different parts of the country, said BCB officials on Monday.

More cricketers are expected to come out of their house and take part in the training session as they have now gained confidence to set foot on the field following the successful completion of practice sessions last months, under special arrangement of BCB that had suspended all kind of cricketing activities in the county in March due to Covid-19 pandemic.

Cricketers would like to get the rust off having stayed at home for over four months as there is also a strong possibility that  Bangladesh national team and BCB high-performance will tour Sri Lanka in October that is expected to mark resumption of cricket in the country.

With Bangladesh likely to return to international cricket discussion in the fraternity is high of getting started with full team practice sessions. But that would require more work at the backend with a totally different setup and logistical measures.

“It is [starting on Saturday] going to be individual practice sessions like we had last month. But we are expecting more participation of cricketers. The setup will be the same like it was in the first phase but with increase in number of cricketers we will have to increase our support staffs and also follow the measures more strictly,” BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury told reporters on Monday.
