Arafat Sunny said, “We have been toiling hard for the last few months. The review committee, our coaching staff and team-mates have all inspired us. Our bowling actions are better. But there will be pressure as it is indeed a matter of an examination. Hopefully, if we can do our work properly, we will come back to international cricket.”
They will return home on September 11.
