On the other hand, Manager of Bangladesh Football team Satyajit Das Rupu was not satisfied after he had inspected the ground. He said, ” The Racecourse Ground became wet due to heavy downpour. Our players took part in their practice in the turf. They could not take part in the practice at the practice venue due to heavy shower. Our all the matches are deferred. The final also may be deferred.”
