A 41-member pre-preliminary squad, including nine members from last year's Saff U-18 Championship, was announced after a national team management committee meeting at BFF House in Dhaka Saturday. Three to four more names are likely to be added to the list before the national camp at BKSP, Savar, set to begin Saturday. Day's one-year contract will start from June 1 and the 38-year old English coach, who was involved with different England youth teams right until the U-18 level, is likely to join the national camp by the first week of June. The football federation wants to bring in the new coaching staff before Day's arrival. Then he went for coaching and continued both playing and coaching till the age of 35."
