AFC U-22 Asia Cup 2013 :Bangladesh announce 30 member preliminary squad for AFC U-22

Bangladesh Football Federation selected 30 footballers for the preliminary squad of the AFC U-22 qualifiers scheduled to start at Kathmandu from June 2 on Tuesday. The players are requested to report to coach Syed Golam Jilani on May 10 on Thursday but Bangladesh national U-22 team’s preparation for the upcoming AFC U-22 Championship is yet to reach the full tempo due to the reluctance of the clubs on releasing players. In the last three days, since the introduction of the camp the number of the attendants was 10, 20, and 25.
Coach Syed Golam Jilani had little to say, “As the league is running, the clubs are not allowing the players to attend the camp. I have nothing to say but I am trying to continue my work with the available resources,” said Jilani. 

Bangladesh is pitted in group D alongwith Uzbekistan, Jordan, Yemen and hosts Nepal. The qualifiers will kick off in Kathmandu on June 2.
