Bangladesh Cricket Board: Ahead of Bangladesh starting their 2025 Champions Trophy campaign against India, young fast bowler Nahid Rana said the bowling group will be focused on proper execution of their plans on pitches which could be great for batters to thrive.

Bangladesh will begin their Group A campaign by facing India in Dubai on Thursday, before flying to Rawalpindi for further matches against hosts’ Pakistan and New Zealand. Rawalpindi is also the place where Rana dismissed Babar Azam, Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel in the span of three consecutive overs to help Bangladesh take an unforgettable 2-0 series win.

“We played on pitches that were very good for batting and the margins for the fast bowlers were less. Despite that, we made the right adjustments and bowled exceptionally as a fast bowling group. The pitches could be even better for the Champions Trophy and we have to be focused on proper execution of our plans,” said Nahid to ICC on Wednesday.
