The architects of Bangladesh's Under-19 World Cup success in early 2020 will trust the same factors as they take the first steps towards building a new team, chief among them trying to put together a squad that is tailor-made for the conditions in the Caribbean, where the tournament will be held in 2022, report agencies.
The selectors and coaches have picked a 28-member preliminary squad for a four-week training programme, starting October 1, which follows a rigorous selection process that concluded last week.
Forty-six cricketers, picked from age-group tournaments across the country, trained in a camp at Dhaka's Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan [BKSP] over the past few days to showcase - and hone - specific skills. They were also part of a 50-over trial tournament.
There will be another camp then, where the focus will be on fitness and providing playing time to the squad as they prepare for a potential Under-19 Asia Cup in November in the UAE, their first international assignment as a group.
While the first camp was under specialist coaches Mehrab Hossain and Talha Jubair, the upcoming one will be under the Under-19 national team's head coach, Naveed Nawaz, who steered the previous team to World Cup glory.
Nawaz, who was instrumental in putting together the process that led to the success, said that he looks at five factors when judging a young cricketer, a method he put to use after the BCB made him head coach in July 2018.
"The attitude of the player is the most important thing for me," Nawaz told ESPNcricinfo. "To see how adaptable they are, their keenness to learn, how they work as a team and if they send me the message that they can be coached. The other side of it is skills, athleticism, how they handle pressure and their desire to achieve goals.
"These are very important to understand how good they want to become, and how we can help them. I always know in the back of my mind that these players are going to improve in the next two years in my programme, so I did not expect them to be perfect. But if the players' attitude is right and if they want to learn and get better, then of course, I could help them."
Nawaz said that he would apply a similar mindset when he looks at the new batch next week. "The cream of Bangladesh's Under-19 cricket come into this squad.
I think we will be looking at the same attributes from the new batch. As long as the players have a good attitude, they want to get better, and the desire and enthusiasm is there, I always believe that we can improve as a team with the help of coaches."
