Ireland is now Bangladesh to play a three-match ODI series. The series starts tomorrow. Several bad news in the Bangladesh camp ahead of the series. All-rounder Mehdi Hasan was admitted to Miraj Hospital. He got injured during practice. Batter Zakir Hasan is also unable to play. After the bad news about these two came another alarming news. It is also not sure if captain Tamim Iqbal will be able to play in the first ODI. The captain of the ODI team has been suffering from a fever for the past few days. The head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe said that they will decide about the captain after seeing the batting and fielding practice.

Bangladesh will play the first of the three-match series against the Irish at Sylhet International Stadium on Saturday. However, Tamim also practiced today. He was also seen batting against Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud in the net.

The coach had an extra eye on the captain in practice. Hathurusinghe came and talked to him separately. Tamim’s extra attention was seen toward the big shot at the net. Hathurusinghe told the press conference about the anxiety created around him shortly before the discussion with Tamim on the net. When asked about the captain’s fitness, he said, “Tamim has a little health concern, not fitness. I think he has some sort of viral infection. Hathuru then added, ‘He (Tamim) will do some batting and fielding today. After that, we will decide.
