All players were fit, healthy and in good spirits. The coaching staffs were satisfied with the team’s energy and focus during the training session. 

“We had a first raining session in the ground and everyone practiced very attentively….we are practicing the way the coach showed us and all the players are in good shape,” said the Bangladesh captain Afeida Khandakar after the training session today.

The whole team enjoyed the training under the rain. As the team arrived in Myanmar few days before the tournament, it would be easier for team to adapt to local condition, she added.
