Shakib Al Hasan feels Bangladesh ought to relaxation their ODI World Cup-bound gamers in the course of the residence sequence towards New Zealand later this month to make sure that they're "fit and healthy." The three-match ODI sequence begins on September 21 and concludes on 26 in Dhaka, with each groups set to journey to India the next day. Both New Zealand and Bangladesh have two warm-up matches every on September 29 and October 2, respectively.

Shakib conceded that one of many causes to ask for this quick interval of relaxation is due to "lots of travel" that the crew would have in the course of the event in India. Bangladesh's residence sequence towards New Zealand may be a possibility to check their bench power. They are but to call the squad for the World Cup.

Everyone has a chance [to play]. I personally believe that those who played in the Asia Cup could be rested from the New Zealand series, especially those who are confirmed for the World Cup.

"We can't afford accidents in that massive event which includes observe matches and plenty of journey. We do not have quite a lot of bench power. It is essential for us that gamers are match and wholesome for the World Cup. I would like all 4 of our quick bowlers to stay match, now that Ebadot [Hossain] is out."

"I do not know should you talked about Riyad [Mahmudullah] bhai when he was lacking from the final three sequence. Now you're saying it (laughs). I feel it is rather irrelevant. You have once more requested the fallacious query. Towhid Hridoy changed Riyad bhai."
