Along with Musfhqiur, Miraz, and Saifuddin, the squad also includes players like Taijul Islam, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Nayeem Hasan, Mominul Haque and Nurul Hasan Sohan.
The squad, chosen by the national team selection panel, combines experienced and emerging players. The camp aims to refine players' techniques and mental preparation for upcoming challenges.
Training sessions will be held in phases across multiple locations, including Sylhet and Chittagong.
