The six-day camp, under the 'Special Warfare Wing', will begin on August 11, two days after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announces the final squad for the tournament from a 30-member preliminary list to be held in South Africa next month.

The team management including the coaching will also be a part of it.

Media and communications committee chairman Ahmed Sajjadul Alam Bobby confirmed the team would be approved by the board in its meeting on August 9.

"All teams submitted by the selection panel would be approved at board meetings from now on," Bobby said.

Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu, chairman of cricket operations committee of BCB's new ad-hoc committee, informed that he had a meeting with all three national selectors yesterday.

"We have settled that the selection panel will submit the final team for the Twenty20 world meet by August 9," said Lipu, a former national captain and also the manager of the ICC Trophy winning team.

"This training is for gaining fitness and getting harder as quickly as possible as they will go through a strenuous routine during the camp. An Army unit will be in charge of the players," he said without elaborating.

He added that Mashrafe Bin Mortaza is expected to miss the camp.

The national vice-captain and speedster will be on leave till mid-August to attend his ailing wife. A few senior players, not part of the Twenty20 squad, will also be on leave.

This is the first time the Tigers will have this type of camp, otherwise known as 'boot camp'. Previously they had a conditioning camp in the country's beach resort in Cox's Bazar.

However, teams from the sub-continent, India and Pakistan both had boot camps this year while Australia did it last year.

The idea however is nothing new with New Zealand pioneering the move having commando training in the late 90s.

Tigers captain Mohammad Ashraful thought that it would be a hard week for them.

"We once did it in Cox's Bazar with Gordon Greenidge. I don't remember much but I still recall that doing our regular workouts on sand was tougher," Ashraful told.

"We need this type of exercises because it will naturally make us stronger mentally and physically."
