My injury condition is getting better, but fast bowlers often take a while to heal, so we’re experimenting with workload to see how I feel,” Taskin stated.
In anticipation of the forthcoming series against Sri Lanka, members of the Bangladesh Test team began their training camp on Wednesday, May 28, in accordance with the most recent news events. In June and July, the Tigers will go to Sri Lanka for a bilateral series in all three forms.
But the Asian team’s recent performance in the red-ball format has been their biggest source of worry. One of the main causes of the chaos seems to be a lack of planning.

In-depth preparation is even more important because the Test series in Sri Lanka will also be Bangladesh’s first assignment in the 2025–27 ICC Test Championship cycle. The camp is supervised by head coach Sohel Islam, fast bowling coach Nazmul Hossain, and strength and conditioning coach Nathan Kelly. On the other hand, Mizanur Rahman, coach of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), is anticipated to join in the next few days.
“As part of our preparation for the Sri Lanka series, we have a camp from May 28 to June 3 for red-ball practice. Shahriar Nafees, the BCB cricket operations in-charge, told The Daily Star that the camp had started with 22 cricket players, including members of the national squad and A team.
The Tigers will return to the training camp on June 12 or 13 following the Eid vacations before departing for Sri Lanka. Galle is the site of the first Test, which begins on June 17. The second Test will take place in Colombo after this, starting on June 25.
As recuperation progresses, Taskin hopes to return to testing.
