All players were in good health and spirits. The coaching staff was satisfied with the team鈥檚 energy and focus during the training session.
鈥榃e had our first training session on the ground, and everyone practiced very attentively鈥�. We are practising the way the coach showed us, and all the players are in good shape,鈥� said Bangladesh captain Afeida Khandakar after the training session on Thursday.
鈥楾he whole team enjoyed the training in the rain. As the team arrived in Myanmar a few days before the tournament, it would be easier for the team to adapt to local conditions,鈥� she added.
Team assistant coach Mahmuda Akter said after reaching Myanmar safely on Wednesday, the players skipped the first day of ground training due to rain and worked out in the gym at the hotel.
She said the players also faced the same condition as on the first day, but they completed their training in the proper way, and the players were healthy and fit.
