But the Tigers' inspirational coach Dav Whatmore, who is still mourning the death of his father, captain Habibul Bashar, Khaled Mashud and Javed Omar will however not be on the flight.

The senior trio were given permission by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to enjoy some time off. Both Bashar and Mashud go to America while Javed will visit Europe along with his family.

But for left-handed opener Shahriar Nafees Ahmed, who has been named Bangladesh A team captain, Nafees Iqbal, Tushar Imran and Aftab Ahmed, they only have eleven days to relax before returning to England with the second-string Bangladesh side.

The Bangladesh A team will leave on July 15 to play five three-day and four limited-overs games against different English county selections.

With the Tigers' next assignment coming up against Sri Lanka in September, it is feared that some young players will be fatigued before the first one-dayer on September 1. Those Bangladesh A team players will hardly get a week to recover once they return on August 20.

Chief selector Faruque Ahmed, however, saw nothing wrong with the scheduling and said the England tour by the second-string national side would be beneficial in the long run.

"If we are focusing on the future I must say the tour will serve us well because I believe that our young players can gain a great deal of experience while in England," said Faruque.

Despite the historic triumph against Australia, the chief selector was concerned with the poor performance in the Tests.

"I think we played our best one-day series against two of the world's best teams but let's not forgot that we had a bad Test series against the second ranked side (England).

"Some of our players showed at least in the second innings of the second Test that they have the potential to play in the longer version," he explained.

But Faruque was keen to see consistency in both versions of the game.

"I think our best achievement in the one-day series was our consistency. Now we should try to keep it up in Sri Lanka. The players are the only ones capable of finding out how to become consistent in Test cricket," he said.

"While I think the victory against the Australians was very satisfying considering our current state of affairs but the challenge for us is not to hope for pulling off upsets against major teams, rather we need to aim at setting certain playing standards," he added.
