The captain will join the team the day before the match

Shakib Al Hasan was expected to join the Bangladesh team a little earlier in the Tour of New Zealand as Guyana Amazon Warriors’ progress in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) stopped before the final.

But that’s not happening anymore. The captain will arrive in Christchurch on October 6, just before the start of the tri-series. The next day, the tournament will start with a match against Pakistan, as well as Bangladesh’s preparation series for the World Cup in Australia.

Shakib was supposed to arrive before the first match, but the team’s wait for Alan Donald in Christchurch is going to be longer. The fast bowling coach was supposed to join the team in New Zealand. BBC’s Cricket Operations Committee chief Jalal Yunus said the delay was due to the non-availability of flight tickets to New Zealand before the start of the tri-series from his country South Africa.

Not only the first match against Pakistan but there are also doubts about whether Donald will be available for the New Zealand match at Hagley Oval on October 9. Because this Protea coach will go to Christchurch on that day.

The Bangladesh team, which reached there a day earlier, spent yesterday’s day in complete rest. Cricketers have walked here and there in the city.
