Chief selector not worried about the result of warm-up match
The chief selector believes that the experience of the warm-up match against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi will be useful in the main round.
The Bangladesh cricket team is busy in the last minute preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Mahmudullah Riyadh's team went to Oman long ago to adapt to the conditions. They have already played two warm-up matches.
However, Bangladesh lost their first official warm-up match against Sri Lanka by 4 wickets on Tuesday.
The cricket fraternity is worried seeing such a result just a few days before the main tournament begins. But the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief selector Minhazul Abedin Nannu is not worried about the performance at all. Only the preparation matters to him.
