Bangladesh, who are placed in group F, have already bowed out from the competition after failing to secure any point after playing four matches.

Rajani Kanta Barman, Mostafa Anwar Parvez Babu, Zahid Hossain and Mehdi Hasan Ujjal did not report to coach Hasanuzzaman Bablu at the BFF Bhaban yesterday morning. They are likely to join the practice session today, said a BFF source.

After the home match against Uzbekistan, Bangladesh will play their last qualifying round match on November 15 against Hong Kong. Earlier, last Tuesday, Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) announced a 22-member preliminary squad.
