South African Academy tour of Bangladesh

[MohammedC]

The National Cricket Academy will test their mettle on the sub-continent when they play the Bangladesh Cricket Academy in a tour consisting of four-day, one-day and T20 matches next month. This is the second of such reciprocal tours between Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board, and forms part of CSA’s strategy to provide young cricketers the opportunity to experience different playing environments.

 

“This tour is more about proficiency for the players and we want them to get an understanding of the conditions on the sub-continent and to further develop and grow certain aspects of their game,” commented Anton Ferreira, CSA Coaching Manager.

 

Bizhub Highveld Lions batsman, Temba Bavuma, was not considered for the tour and Cameron Delport from KwaZulu-Natal and Jerry Nqolo from Border have withdrawn from the Academy due to personal reasons.

Good for us, better for them, overall we need more of this kind of visitors and we also need to visit them.

Loads of love going on between Bangladesh and South Africa at the moment.
A team and Academy playing against their counterparts simultaneously.
A test of pipelines.

Not bad, it will be invaluable experience for the Saffers to play in Bangladesh and vice versa when BD academy team visits SA. hope similar arrangements are made with Aus/Eng/Ind etc

[al-Sagar]

why only DHAKA and CTG ????

why not some games at Bogura, khulna or rajshahi ???

[Tiger Manc]

good good. didn't we play them last year as well. it would've been better if they played away. we thrashed them by 200 runs last time. i'm hoping to see big performances from our academy boys.

isn't shubhashis with the A team? he should have been there. Asif Ahmed should be in the Academy side. he did well last year.

[MohammedC]

Another name to consider is Fazle Mahmud Rabbi.

@ al furqan, Shubashish is not in the A team.

Shubhashish should have been in the A team...he's been performing consistently for a while. we need pacer depth.

[zainab]

BCB should invite Ireland and Netherlands to play 4 day matches, this is the way to go for BD at the moment.

[MohammedC]

I say it's Ireland and the netherland should invite our academy to play their national side. With all expense paid.

Way to go backwards.

[lamisa]

i don't have any problems with us playing ireland or netherland but we should play them at their home ground so that we get more exposure and have a good practice at seam friendly wickets.we just get slaughtered in SA or aussie pitches since their team is so good.it will be very healthy if we play ireland in ireland.i am not sure if we can win back to back mathces against ireland in ireland
