The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) High Performance (HP) Unit has wrapped up its near two-month-long training camp in Chattogram — but the program was plagued by constant rain interruptions, sparking debate over the decision to host it during the monsoon season.
The camp, aimed at sharpening skills for the country’s next crop of national team hopefuls, saw repeated session delays and cancellations due to persistent downpours. While indoor facilities and gym work partially compensated for lost outdoor practice, many observers have questioned whether the timing and location of the camp allowed for optimal player development.
BCB officials maintained that the camp still delivered value, citing fitness improvements and skill-based drills that could be conducted under cover. However, critics argue that prolonged weather disruptions undermine the competitive edge such a program is meant to provide.
