Dhaka, Dec 11 (CRICKETNMORE) Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan wants the team to get off to a good start in New Zealand in what he describes will be a "very challenging" tour for them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 29-year-old southpaw led Dhaka Dynamites to triumph in the Bangladesh Premier League 2016 with a convincing 56-run win over Rajshahi Kings in the final at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday, reports bdnews24.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having fulfilled his aim to win the BPL as captain, Shakib has now turned his attention to his international duties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He has flown to Australia for Bangladesh's conditioning camp, alongwith limited-overs captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Mahmudullah and other national team players who were part of the teams in the BPL final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After their training camp in Australia, the team will travel to New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
New Zealand are always tough opponents in their backyard. Even their neighbours across the Tasman Sea, Australia, often have a tough time taking New Zealand on their turf.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But training in Australian conditions is helpful for Bangladesh, hence, Shakib feels their camp will also be crucial.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We are going abroad to play after a long time. The conditions are totally different. It will be very challenging for us. Hopefully, the camp in Australia will be very useful," he said on Saturday before travelling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"If we can get off to a good start in the one-day series, then I hope, the whole series will go smoothly."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The series will start with three One-Dayers from December 26, followed by three Twenty20 Internationals before two Tests.Bangladesh will also play a warm-up match on December 22.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
