Dhaka, May 20 -- The Bangladesh Under-19 national football team have returned to Dhaka after their flight was forced to turn back to Kolkata on its first attempt due to inclement weather.

The team, which includes standout players Murshed Ali and Nazmul Huda Faysal, was scheduled to land at Shahjalal International Airport around 5pm on Tuesday following their runner-up finish in the SAFF U-19 Championship in India.
