Rokibul Hasan will lead the BCB XI in the tomorrow's limited-over practice match against Australia at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium.

Australia, who arrived in the capital on Monday night, under the new leader Michael Clarke will open their campaign in Bangladesh with the lone practice match.

The visitors, who made an early exit from the recently concluded World Cup losing the quarterfinal game against champions India, will play three one-day internationals against Shakib Al Hasan's men on April 9, 11 and 13 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

The Australian players didn't turn up at the stadium yesterday for practice as they stayed in the hotel while a few did gym and swimming exercises in the hotel.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has drafted three national players in Rokibul, Alok Kapali and uncapped Shuvogoto Hom for the practice game while pace all-rounder Forhad Reza also gets a recall after a long break.
