``We are aware of our strength and will try to give our best against the two Test-playing sides,'' said Aminul while talking to The Daily Star at the BKSP yesterday during the England-Zimbabwe match.
``We came to know about tomorrow's match against New Zealand a while ago so I can't tell you anything in advance,'' Aminul added, saying that they did not have any net practice since their arrival at the BKSP on October 16.
``We were restricted to the indoors and we did a bit of knocking on dry days. But there was no nets for us,'' said a dejected Aminul.
``Despite all the odds, the team spirit is very high and I hope we will do well,'' said the ACC Trophy winning captain.
When contacted, the Director-General of BKSP, Brig Mahmud Hassan, also confirmed that the institute could not provide the Bangladesh team with enough practice facilities because of their earlier commitment of preparing a ground for the practice matches for England and Zimbabwe.
``Moreover, I was not informed by the board in time that the national team will have training here. I came to knew the day they arrived here,'' said Hassan.
