DHAKA, Sept 28, 2021 (BSS) - Bangladesh Cricket Team are all set to leave the country on October 3 for their mission in the Twenty20 World Cup to be held in Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

  They will then again travel to Oman for their first round matches where they are drawn with Scotland, co-host Oman and Papua New Guinea. Mahmudullah Riyad's side will start their mission, taking on Scotland on October 17. If they qualify, they will be drawn with India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan and other team, qualifying from first round in Super 12s.

  As per the schedule released by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today, the team will start their preparation for the World Cup journey with a video shoot with Daraz on October 1.

  They will then remain in strict home quarantine and will undergo a Covid-19 test on October 2 before boarding the flight for Oman's city Muscat in the following day.

  After arriving in Muscat, Bangladesh will have a one-day room quarantine and then they will practice for four straight days after which they will fly for Dubai where after a day of practice, they will play two office warm-up games, scheduled for October 12 and 14.
