Anamul Haque is fully fit and the right-handed opening batsman is eager to get his place back in the national fold for the upcoming home series against India, slated for next month.
The 22-year-old sustained a dislocation on his right shoulder during Bangladesh’s World Cup game against Scotland in March and has been out of the team since then. He, however, made a quick rehabilitation after undergoing surgery and came back strongly in the domestic longer version league – Bangladesh Cricket League – where he slammed two fifties and a century.
“I have played well in the BCL where I was able to score some runs to bring back the confidence in me since returning from the injury. I have recovered from the shoulder injury and if I get selected, I am looking forward to do well against India in the upcoming home series,” said Anamul.
Meanwhile, the 23-member preliminary squad warmed themselves up before the official training session begins tomorrow with the cricketers reporting to trainer Mario Villavarayan for fitness test.
The majority of the cricketers present at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday spent time at the gym and worked on strength training.
Fast bowler Rubel Hossain, who picked up a side-strain during the first Test against Pakistan earlier this month, is making good progress on his fitness while Shafiul Islam is also expected to be fit for selection before the final squad is named.
