After the failed India mission, the Tigers now face the South Africa test. Nazmul Shantar’s team will play a two-match Test series against South Africa at their home ground. The Tigers are busy training hard under the supervision of new head coach Phil Simmons ahead of this upcoming series.

Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto spoke for a long time with the consultant Mushtaq Ahmed. After that, the Tiger captain focused on batting in the net. Despite not being in the Test team, pacer Ebadat Hossain bowled a light run-up.
Due to the rain yesterday (October 18) the cricketers could not practice the first day properly. Bangladesh practice in Mirpur yesterday from 2 pm. South Africa has practiced it before. Bangladesh is in danger even though the tourists have completed the task of cleaning themselves without any problems. It started raining just as indoor outdoor main practice started. Taskin, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan continued to try despite the rain.
They warmed up by running on the green grass of Mirpur. But the Tigers practiced well in the field today.
