After the completion of the first round of the Premier Division Cricket League, the national cricketers are now going on holiday for five days.
The Tigers will be back to business on January 26 to prepare for the upcoming ICC World Cup that will start with the match between Bangladesh and India on February 19 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
The 15-member squad, which was announced on Wednesday without leading paceman Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, will travel to Chittagong on February 1 for a short camp at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
Tigers will play their two group matches against England (March 11) and Netherlands (March 14) in the port city.
The Tigers will not be available for the Premier Division Super League matches as they train under the supervision of Jamie Siddons.
Meanwhile, the injured Mashrafe is likely to fly for Sri Lanka within two days to meet with Australian surgeon Dr. David Young in Colombo.
The former national skipper is fighting to regain his full fitness before the start of the World Cup. Despite his omission from the 15-member squad the team management didn't rule out his chances of playing the World Cup.
