Mushfiqur Rahim, Imrul Kayes, Mohammad Mithun, Shafiul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Nurul Hasan and Nayeem Hasan will be practising separately from Sunday.
Finally, the wait is over for the cricketers. Four different grounds across the country are going to be made available for cricketers to practice from Sunday. For now, nine cricketers are going to start practising.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) made all the preparations quite a while before.

Khaled and Nasum will practice at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Off-spinner Nayeem Hasan will practice in Chattogram.
Cricketers have been instructed to practice alone. For now, they will be allowed to do only running and gym.
Batsmen can do 45-minute skill training. But the batsmen who are outside Dhaka, as well as the fast bowlers, have been instructed to stick to fitness training only.
The medical team of BCB will monitor all the time how the proceedings go and keep an eye on cricketers whether they abide by the protocols.
