Nazmul Abedeen Fahim
Burden of stardom stunting Tigers’ growth
Fahim acknowledges the team's potential under Shanto's leadership but questions the wisdom of persisting with Shakib.
Shakib on a solo mission?
Bangladesh team reached Kolkata yesterday after their hopes of a semifinals berth in ICC World Cup was all but dashed in Mumbai following a crushing 149-run defeat against South Africa.
The glaring fault in Naim
There is no way to justify crucifying the 24-year-old batter solely for his 20-run innings against Pakistan in Wednesday's Asia Cup Super Four match in Lahore. Instead, the manner in which he keeps throwing his wicket away after showing a glimpse of promise deserves serious consideration ahead of the World Cup.
‘Parameters need broadening’
Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, a revered figure in the sporting fraternity and a mentor of many cricketers here, once closely monitored women's cricket as its wing development manager. The veteran coach identified some vital issues that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) should give highest priority in order to ensure proper growth of women's cricket in the country. The excerpts of his observations are as follows:
Time for Bangladesh to learn from Windies fall
Following a dramatic group stage of the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia that saw the Netherlands and Zimbabwe qualify for the Super 12 and join Bangladesh in Group 2, raising hopes among Tigers fans when it comes to Bangladesh winning a couple of games in the mega-event.
‘Tigers must establish bold intent quick’
Bangladesh have a stern test in their Asia Cup opener on Tuesday against Afghanistan and that they have to grab the proverbial bull by the horn right from the onset for success, reckons veteran coach Nazmul Abedeen Fahim.
Why ODIs are Tigers’ favoured format?
It has long been understood that Bangladesh find it easier to meet the challenges of the ODI format.
WC 2023 key in shaping Tamim’s legacy
Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal set his sights firmly on the 2023 World Cup in India, which, in his opinion, could be the final destination for the four seniors in the Bangladesh side, who will likely play their last World Cup together.
‘Shakib knows where the hurdles are’
With the upcoming Test series against West Indies starting from June 16, Shakib Al Hasan will begin a new journey as the captain of the Bangladesh Test side.
‘The answer is there to see’
There was not any significant difference between hosts Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in terms of international experience as the two subcontinental rivals locked horns in a two-match Test series within the past two weeks.
