Bangladesh will set a camp in Sylhet for a short practice session for the three-match ODI series against Ireland, which will be held at Chelmsford in England.
The practice will start after Eid-ul-Fitr holiday, said Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Younus.
"We'll have a short camp in Sylhet, probably for two or three days practice session ahead of the tour," Younus said here today.
"Considering the wicket and condition at Chelmsford where we will play the series against Ireland, our head coach Chandika Hathurusingha chose Sylhet as the practice ground. The practice facilities and wicket in Sylhet has been really good," he added.
Players will join the camp on April 26 or 27, according to Younus even though there is no final decision as of now regarding when the camp will start.
The three ODIs are slated to be held on May 9, 12 and 14 but Bangladesh will leave the country for England on May 1, in a bid to give them some more time to cope with the condition.
Younus said the team will play a practice match there also, ahead of the three-match series.
"The team will reach England on May 2 after which we'll have some more practice session. We'll also play a practice game after May 5. They wanted to give us a short time for the practice but we wanted some more days. Therefore we will reach their earlier than the scheduled time," Younus informed.
Younus also said that Liton Das who has already joined Kolkata Knight Riders to play the IPL for the first time in his career, will join the side on May 5 but Mustafizur, who is representing Delhi Capitals will join the side on time.
"Liton wanted to extend his NOC for two more days and we gave him the permission so he will join the side on May 5. Mustafizur meanwhile will join on time," he added.
Earlier, Shakib Al Hasan opted out IPL, citing family emergency but he will join the side in Ireland on right time.
