Practice Sessions
England and Zimbabwe had two practice sessions each at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
Although, both teams were due to use the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium and Sultana Kamal Women's Sports Complex ground respectively, event manager Asif Iqbal informed the press that the three practice venues including the BUET ground, will require another two to three days to be ready. Asif added in case of rain, they might consider allowing all teams to practice at the National Stadium.
After light warm-up sessions in the morning the England players indulged themselves into their national pastime - football while the Zimbabweans preferred rugby to sweat it out.
Both teams had net practice in the evening under the newly-installed floodlights.
England, who will meet South Africa in the quarterfinal on October 25, will play two practice matches against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh at BKSP on October 21 and 23.
The matches will start everyday at 9.30 am.
