Dhaka: Australia are feeling the heat just days before their first Test against Bangladesh in more than a decade, with batsman Glenn Maxwell revealing today he suffered heatstroke during training. “I caught a bit of heatstroke on the first day, which wasn’t a good start,” said Maxwell. “I think just doing some running outside, then going inside to do some fitness tests, and then going back outside didn’t help too much. The body shut down a little bit but I was fine after the ice bath and plenty of fluids.” Australia, who arrived last Friday, limited themselves to light training on Wednesday after their two-day warm-up match on the outskirts of Dhaka was cancelled due to flooding. But the 28-year-old said conditions were still a little difficult for the newly-arrived squad. “Yesterday was obviously pretty tough with the overnight and morning rain, all the moisture coming out of the ground and making sweaty work for us,” he said.
