Delhi: The day of Sunday, August 10, was disappointing for the Bangladesh cricket team, which is preparing for the Asia Cup 2025. Almost all the players of the team failed in the fitness test, only one player crossed the standards. This situation is a major setback for team management, as the tournament is to start in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 9 September and this time it will be played in T20 format.

Players gasped in 1600 meter race

A fitness test of 22 players was conducted under the supervision of new strength and conditioning coach Nathan Keli. Earlier, where the fitness of the players was tested by the Yo-Yo or Beep Test, this time the 1600 meter race and a 40 meter sprint were organized.

According to reports, fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Tanveer Islam and Shamim Patwari took about 8 minutes to complete the 1600 meter race.

Nahid Rana becomes fitness hero

A team management official said that Nahid Rana impressed everyone with his fitness. Some players performed well, but many star cricketers could not live up to fitness standards. Currently, the team’s fitness camp is going on, so that the three -match T20 series and then the Asia Cup can be prepared against the Netherlands.

Performance of the rest of the players

• Mehdi Hasan Miraj – 6 minutes 01 seconds
• Mushfiqur Rahim – 6 minutes 10 seconds
• Tanjim Hasan Saqib – 5 minutes 53 seconds
• Shahadat Hussain Deepu – 6 minutes
• Parvez Hussain Imon – 6 minutes 13 seconds

Some players were absent from camp

T20 team captain Litton Das and Tauheed did not attend the heart fitness camp. At the same time, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Saif Hasan, Afif Hussain and Mahidul Islam Ankon are currently on a tour of Australia with Bangladesh ‘A’ team, due to which they too could not participate in this camp.
