Evolving and growing through every phase of life is a natural phenomenon. For most, this brings about positive changes. But for the Bangladesh cricket team, the exact opposite is the case, as in every new series and tour, the Tigers unlock new problem areas in their game.
Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib claimed that every player in the Tigers’ current XI is a "proven player" in both domestic and international cricket. His remarks came after the Tigers’ 57-run loss to Pakistan in the second T20I of the three-match series, which saw Bangladesh concede the series 2-0 with one game left to play.
Former captains Habibul Bashar, Minhajul Abedin Nannu, and Khaled Mashud Pilot didn't mince words: this isn't just a passing stumble. It's a full-blown crisis in Bangladesh cricket.
Bangladesh skipper Liton Das said that the dew factor played the main role in their series loss against the inexperienced UAE after the Tigers lost the third and final game of the three-match series by seven wickets at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium yesterday.
Sunday’s press conference held by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was the perfect example of a board deflecting the issues instead of acknowledging them.
“If we can’t stick to our planning even against lower-ranked sides, how can we expect growth in Test cricket? I’m not against offering spin-friendly conditions, but why against Zimbabwe? Why did we lose confidence after one loss?”
Bangladesh turned things around in the Test series against Zimbabwe, winning the second and final Test by a resounding margin of an innings and 106 runs in Chattogram yesterday.
Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz had a point to prove in the second Test against Zimbabwe, and he did just that on Day 3 of the Chattogram Test yesterday.
Only by losing the first Test in Sylhet could Bangladesh have fans, and everyone else, turn their focus towards themselves for a series that nearly experienced a media blackout, forcing the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to get state-run BTV as the broadcast partner.
