Bangladesh have sent their leading test and international players to Pakistan to prepare for next month's tour of Namibia and Zimbabwe.

The players including Rajin Saleh, Hannan Sarkar, Muhammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahman, Alamgir Kabir, Anwar Hossain and Ehsanul Haq will take part in Pakistan's premier domestic Patrons Trophy tournament.

"We have a demanding tour of Namibia and Zimbabwe coming up next month and the selectors have decided the players can gain valuable practice by playing in Pakistan's main domestic tournament," Athar Ali Khan, Bangladesh manager and a national selector, told Reuters on Friday.

Bangladesh will play one-day games in Namibia in January before touring Zimbabwe in February-March for two tests and five one-dayers.

And it will all be in vein once we face whitewash in Zimbabwe in both test matches and one day matches.

If that is what happens, then we will not only lose just another one-day and test series, but also lose a valuable opportunity of playing our second string national players in a tournament of higher standard outside Bangladesh.

What can I say? Very sad and unfortunate comment.
