The Bangladesh Cricket Board had acquired a device called SLG (speed-light-gate) in order to examine the actual fielding and fitness level of the Tigers.
The device that is widely used by the cricket giants of the world will help the coaching management of the Tigers in obtaining the right data on their physical abilities during the training sessions.
It was sought by the former head coach Richard Pybus and later Sahara-BCB National Academy manager Richard McInnes and current head coach Shane Jurgensen also approved of its benefit.
Usually the local cricketers fail to understand the importance of fielding sessions, often skipping hard physical effort that eventually let them down on many occasions.
BCB had noticed that it becomes difficult
for the foreign coach to tell their charges about their fielding lapses in the fear of having a strained relationship.
To avoid such uneasiness often it appears that despite not putting in their hundred percent a sizeable number of national stars can get away by stating they had given their hundred percent.
‘I think it will help improve the fielding of the Tigers and the fitness as well because that will be constantly monitored by the device,’ Gazi Ashraf Hossain, a member of the ad-hoc committee, told reporters on Sunday.
SLG will now give thorough report obtained through the laser light to confirm whether the players had really toiled enough or not during the fitness and fielding session.
