Kolkata: Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque on Thursday rued that his team didn’t get a practice game to prepare before taking on India in their first-ever Day/Night Test.
It was only two days before embarking on their tour of India that BCCI president Sourav Ganguly could convince the Bangladesh Cricket Board to play a pink ball Test, leaving no provision for a warm-up game.
“We did not get any opportunity to play a practice match and at that moment (when it was decided) we could not do anything. The only way to prepare for us was by preparing mentally. But definitely, if you play any Test match with the pink ball, you have to play practice matches,” Mominul said on the eve of the Test here.
The current Bangladesh team have no pink ball experience even at the domestic level and they only had four sessions, including two in Indore, before their first ever D/N Test.
While a handful of Indians have played pink-ball game at the domestic level, Bangladesh’s only experience with the ball was a one-off first-class fixture back in 2013. (PTI)
