Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) is planning to include table tennis along with four other disciplines for the projected long term isolated training camp ahead of the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games in 2014. The camp is expected to get underway from January 1, 2014.
Omitting athletics and swimming, BOA earlier finalized the list of 26 athletes from four disciplines—shooting, archery, boxing and taekwondo. The decision to add table tennis or not will be finalized at the next executive meeting scheduled to be held in the first week of December.
The previous records of table tennis was overly promising - Bangladesh only won three bronze medals at the last edition of South Asian Games in 2010, compared to the six silver medals they claimed in swimming.
