Tigers ready for Sussex test

Bangladesh will on Friday play Sussex County Cricket XI in their second and final warm-up match ahead of a tri-series in Ireland.

The Sussex team is known to Bangladesh fans thanks to pacer Mustafiz Rahman’s stint for the team during the last year’s county cricket season.

However, the Bangladesh pace ace, who is adorably called 'Fizz', will skip the practice match.

In the first warm-up, the Tigers did a great job as skipper Mushfiqur Rahim hit a century to lead the team to 345 for 7 before the match was abandoned due to rain.

After playing the final practice match, the Bangladesh team will fly to Ireland where the Tigers are scheduled to play the tri-nation series with the hosts and New Zealand.

They play the first match of the tourney against the hosts on 12 May.
