Bangladesh’s two-match Test series against Sri Lanka under the World Test Championship has come to an end. Mominul Haque’s team lost the series 1-0 against the Lankans due to a batting debacle. Team Bangladesh will board the West Indies flight to play the full series next month. Earlier, the cricketers got leave to spend time with their families.
The question is where they are going for vacation.
World-class all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan flew to Singapore on Friday night after the match. Shakib went there to check up on his whole body. Shakib will be checked up there under the supervision of BCB. In this regard, the Chairman of the Cricket Operations Committee of the BCB Jalal Yunus said, ”Shakib went there to check-up. His body seems weak. The problem is he gets weak on the field. That’s why he went to check up on the whole body. There is no other problem.” The left-handed all-rounder will head straight to the United States to spend time with his family after a check-up in Singapore.
Not only Shakib, Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan has also chosen the USA for his vacation. Sohan will fly to the United States with his family on May 30. Besides, Mr. Dependable Mushfiqur Rahim, the wicketkeeper-batsman of Tigers, will travel to Saudi Arabia for the holy Hajj. The cricketer has removed his name from the Caribbean tour for the holy Hajj.
According to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), Tamim Iqbal, the ODI captain of the Tigers, has gone to Dubai to enjoy the holiday. He and his wife and children flew to Dubai on Friday morning.
Taijul Islam, the name of hope for Bangladesh in white-jersey cricket, is also going abroad to enjoy the vacation. The left-arm spinner is not making the mistake of going to Bangkok even though he has been fined 50 percent of the match fee for one mistake in the Lanka series. The rest of the cricketers have also returned to their hometowns on leave.
The Tigers’ coaching staff is also joining the cricketers’ vacation. Russell Domingo, the head coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team, and Allan Donald, the bowling coach, are returning to the country to take advantage of the vacation. After the vacation period, the Bangladesh team will travel to the Caribbean island.
