Bangladesh captain Litton Das has expressed confidence regarding his team’s preparations for the men’s cricket tournament at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. According to the squad announced by the Bangladesh Cricket Board, the team will depart from Dhaka in two groups on September 24. Beyond the standard training sessions, there is a strong focus on fitness and other key aspects of preparation.
The Bangladesh team recently played a T20I series in Zimbabwe, winning it with a score of 2-1. After that series, the team played two practice matches to hone their skills and enhance team bonding. On Wednesday, September 23, the second practice match took place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, offering valuable match experience ahead of the tournament.
“I have the impression that we are very well prepared and that the target is definitely clear.” Litton Das stated “As we enter a tournament, our aim is to reach the final and hopefully achieve something worthwhile there.”

Dies hob hervor, wie sehr die Praxisspiele nach der Serie in Zimbabwe den Zusammenhalt der Mannschaft gestärkt haben. The captain thinks that the preparation phase has been meticulous and has provided the squad with the necessary foundation to compete effectively at the Asian Games.
“The preparation was excellent.” After a long time, we had the chance to play two practice games. “These practice matches have provided us with a chance to strengthen our team bonding, as you know our most recent T20I series was in Zimbabwe,” Litton Das said.
The captain of Bangladesh stressed how significant this unusual chance was and how keen the team was to compete in the continental tournament. Players are eager to capitalize on a tournament that is not held often in the cricket calendar.

Without a doubt, everyone will have expectations. As a player, I will indeed go there with the expectation of doing something good as well. Litton Das said, “One thing I can say is that our players are very eager to participate in this tournament since it is not an annual event.
The Asian Games campaign for Bangladesh will kick off with a direct quarter-final match on September 29. To collect data on the playing conditions in Nagoya, the team has also been observing the women’s cricket matches at the Asian Games. At the 2010 Asian Games, Bangladesh secured the gold medal in men’s cricket, marking it as the only gold the country has achieved at the Games. In the last edition of the Asian Games, Bangladesh won a bronze medal, while India took the gold and Sri Lanka the silver.
