[Sami]

The Bangladesh A team will be announced tomorrow to play two four-day and five limited-over matches against their Zimbabwean counterparts.

Zimbabwe A will arrive in Bangladesh on March 10.

Chief selector Faruque Ahmed said yesterday that players would be chosen based on the performance of Bangladesh Under-19 team as well as those taking part in the National League.

"I think a week-long preparation will be good enough to shape the squad before the tour starts.

"The Board will select a captain and coach after getting the list from us," added the former Bangladesh captain.

He also said that the Zimba-bweans would open their 27-day tour against Bangladesh Under-23 in a three-day practice match at the Fatullah Stadium on March 10.

Most of the matches will be take place at newly built stadiums across the country except the final limited-overs match at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on April 6.
