The test squad had been preparing in Cape Town for Bangladesh's series against South Africa, while ODI series was going on. Batting coach Jamie Siddons believes that this great preparation will pay off in the Test series.
The Test team also went to South Africa with the ODI team, including Test captain Mominul Haque, who practiced intensively at the cricket academy of former cricketer and now renowned coach Gary Kirsten.
The camp is supervised by batting coach Siddons. However, Kirsten himself coached at the beginning. Also present was former Bangladesh fielding coach Ryan Cook, who also does coaching at Kirsten Academy.

“Cape Town was great (camp). The weather was perfect. 9 were in the camp, later 2 returned to the country (Mohammad Mithun and Rezaur Rahman Raja who were out of the squad). The way the weather and pitch conditions in South Africa are perceived, there were a few good net bowlers, we had bowlers, the batsmen did a great job,” said Siddons to media.
"The coaching was great, Gary Kirsten was there, Ryan Cook and I worked separately with everyone, including Mominul and Shadman (Islam), all together for 10 effective days. Strict practice, gym sessions, great facilities for practice. I hope the guys have prepared well for the test” he added.
The first Test of the two-match series starts on Thursday [March 31].
