Mominul Haque will lead Bangladesh A team in the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh Cricket Board announced on Tuesday, report agencies.
Bangladesh A will play two four-day matches and three one-dayers against Sri Lanka A during the tour. The team leaves for Colombo on Wednesday.
‘’I think we need to concentrate on this tour as we have lot of Test matches in the upcoming days and in order to prepare us for the Test championship this tour is very important,’’ Mominul told reporters on Monday.
