Team Bangladesh, who are inflicted with only disappointment at the South Asian championship in the last decade are this time keeping an eye on the title.The Bangladesh team is going to Male on Tuesday with the aim of winning the SAFF Championship scheduled to be held in Maldives from 1 to 16 October.
