But the charges of former national goalkeeper Shahidur Rahman Chowdhury Shantoo leave to play opponents unknown with places and time undisclosed.

There was nobody around at the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) office in the evening to provide the fixture of the week-long tour.

BFF executive secretary Shankar Sikder said that he was yet to receive a full fixture from the Myanmar Football Association.

He said that the host federation has initially set a block date between September 26 to 30 for the youth team's tour.

"We have sent a letter requesting the host association to set the dates between September 29 to October 30. But the Myanmar authority is yet to respond to BFF's request," said Sikder.

He hoped that everything would be finalised once the team reached Yangon in the afternoon.

Recently the BFF has taken up an extensive programme to promote age-group football in the country and they are also grooming an Under-20 team. But the Myenmar tour exposed some loopholes that the BFF failed to take care of.

It is good to see Shatoo return from the United States to temporarily work with an age-group team. He has been a busy man from the past month with 30 young players at the country's long sports institute in Savar. He also named a 20-member team for his first serious outing.

Shantoo's boys will play their first match against Kyrgyzstan on October 11 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The second match against the Central Asian nation will be played at the same venue on October 15.

The USA based coach will be assisted by former national coach Hasanuzzaman Khan Bablu while former national defender Imtiaz Sultan Johnny has been appointed as the manager of the team.
