Bangladesh’s preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was deemed less than ideal by senior assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin. While other teams opted for bilateral ODI series to prepare, Bangladesh was occupied with the Bangladesh Premier League. They only had a week-long preparation camp after the BPL, which Salahuddin believed contributed to their struggles in the tournament. Bangladesh suffered consecutive losses to India and New Zealand, leading to their early exit from the competition. Salahuddin emphasized the importance of proper preparation and mental adaptability across formats for success at the international level. Despite facing Pakistan in a dead rubber, he urged the team to finish on a positive note and rectify their mistakes. Bangladesh’s inconsistent batting and impressive bowling were highlighted, with Salahuddin hoping for a strong performance in their final game. Rain affected their training ahead of the Pakistan fixture, adding to the challenges they faced in the tournament.
