The Bangladesh national football team will play two friendly matches in Nepal during the FIFA window in September. The national team's camp for that match began yesterday. The remaining players of the camp, which started with only five footballers, will join after two to three days. Although it has not been officially announced, coach Javier Cabrera has finalized the 24-member preliminary squad for the friendly match against Nepal. Although nothing is final, Hamza Dewan Chowdhury has been included in the preliminary squad of the Bangladesh team. However, Canadian expatriate Shamit Som is not in the preparation team for the Nepal match due to lack of clearance from the club. The red and green team will play against Nepal on September 6 and 9 in Kathmandu.

The Bangladesh Football Federation has written to Leicester City to get Hamza for a friendly match. National team manager Amer Khan told the media yesterday that he will receive a positive response from there, "Hamza is in the coach's initial list of 24 people. A letter has already been sent to his club Leicester City. The federation is in talks with his club to bring Hamza in September."

Hamza is currently in pre-season training with Leicester City. Since his club is in the second tier of English football, it is likely that he will not play in September. Moreover, Hamza Chowdhury is not currently a regular in the Leicester City squad. Although Leicester kept Hamza as captain in last night's match. Despite scoring a brilliant goal, his team did not see a victory.

All in all, BFF is hopeful of getting Hamza, but BFF did not keep him in the team as it has no hope of getting Shamit. Basically, there are two league matches against Canadian club Coverley on September 6 and 14. At the same time, BFF did not exchange letters with the Canadian club to get Shamit Som because of the Bangladesh match.

Asian Cup qualifier match against Hong Kong in October. A warm-up match with Nepal was targeted for this match. Various questions have been raised as the camp started with only five footballers on Wednesday. Abahani footballers playing in the AFC Challenge League will join the camp today and Bashundhara Kings players will join the camp tomorrow.

Manager Amer Khan said, "Jamal has asked the federation for a day's time. The coach has called the camp so that the footballers can work on gym or fitness."
