How is the performance of cricketers in fitness?
The cricketers of the national team arrived at the Bangabandhu National Cricket Stadium before daylight. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) organized the training on athletics turf to know their fitness level. So that the cricketers do not have to burn in the hot sun of the day, they train seven days in the morning.
35 cricketers appeared on the field at 6 am. Where the cricketers had to run 40m sprint and 1600m. At the start of the day, the weight test is followed by a sprint. After 1600 meters race. BCB's new trainer Nathan Kiely wanted this training on the athletics turf. Which is a completely new experience for the cricketers. After two training sessions, the trainer's assessment of the performance of the cricketers was, 'Everyone's performance is average.'
The team's assistant trainer Iftikhar Islam Ifti said, "I understood the condition of the players through this test. There is nothing wrong with it. DPL, BPL gone. Then this arrangement is to know what their fitness status is. Average performance over all, good. But we have room for improvement. We trainers cannot say good, say no because our needs are endless. Everyone has good fitness.
There is supposed to be inertia on the turf for the first time. But the cricketers didn't have much. Ifti claimed that they were able to adapt quickly, "choosing the track of athletes...actually there is a matter of timing." If we follow internationally there are several testing methods. We took the 1600m time trial today. Proper timing can be calculated on the athletic track. But it seems new to the cricketers.
The cricketers participated in the 1600 meter race divided into two groups. Two pacers Tanjim Hasan Shakib and Nahid Rana became the first in the two groups. As cricketers run with running vests, they have to put in extra effort. Also their timing is accurate
