However, since the arrival of the new strength and conditioning coach, Nathan Keily, the team management has opted for the 1600-meter run and the 40-meter sprint to test the fitness of players. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> It was learnt pacer Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed along with Tanvir Islam and Shamim Patowary took nearly eight minutes to complete the 1600-meter run. Rana, on the other hand, was the best among the 22 cricketers who took part in the fitness test, completing the 1600-meter run in just 5 minutes and 31 seconds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> &#8220;Rana was just outstanding,&#8221; a member of the team management told Cricbuzz on Sunday. &#8220;Few others also did well, but at the same time there were couple of cricketers who could not meet our expectations.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> A fitness camp is currently underway before starting skill training for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Netherlands home followed by the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates,. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Mehedi Hasan Miraz finished second in the first batch, completing the run in 6 minutes and 1 second while Mushfiqur Rahim, who has retired from One Day Internationals and T20s, completed the 1600 meters in 6 minutes and 10 seconds, finishing third. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Tanzim Hasan Sakib finished the 1600 meters in 5 minutes and 53 seconds in the second group comprising 15 cricketers. Following him was Shahadat Hossain Dipu, who completed it in 6 minutes, and Parvez Hossain Emon came third with 6 minutes and 13 seconds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Six cricketers from the 25-member preliminary camp missed the fitness test, which includes T20 captain Liton Kumar Das and Towhid Hridoy. Four other cricketers who are part of the &#8216;A&#8217; team tour of Australia &#8211; Nurul Hasan Sohan, Saif Hasan, Afif Hossain, and Mahidul Islam Ankon &#8211; also missed the test. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Following the fitness camp, the players will move to Sylhet on August 20 for the skill training camp. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a9 Cricbuzz <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BANGLADESH CRICKET Mushfiqur Rahim was among the fastest to complete the 1600-meter run \u00a9 Cricbuzz While Nahid Rana&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[6647,102,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-56616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
