Bangladesh is playing a five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe at home. Although the series is on the ICC's Future Tour Schedule (FTP), it is seen as a warm-up for the T20 World Cup. Nazmul Hossain Shantor's team won easily in the first two matches. Even if you win, there is room for dissatisfaction, which can also be called disappointment. It is definitely not expected that Bangladesh have batted like they did with the great bowling of the pacers.
Especially the batting of the top order batsmen is alarming. Despite winning the first match by 8 wickets, Bangladesh batted till 16 overs to reach the target of 125 runs. In the next match, the home team has to play up to 19 overs to reach the target of 139 runs. BCB President and Youth and Sports Minister Nazmul Hasan Papon expressed doubt after seeing such batting of Bangladesh.
Nazmul Hasan spoke to the media after handing over the title to Dhaka Premier League champions Abahani Limited at the Mirpur Sher Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday. He said, "We won two matches against Zimbabwe easily. As it is true, the batting did not look good. Batting is very scary.
BCB president is satisfied with bowling despite being afraid of batting. Praising Mustafiz, who has played in the IPL along with Saifuddin, Taskin, he said, 'I have seen two matches in the series against Zimbabwe. But he did well in bowling. The way Saifuddin bowled after so long, the way Sheikh Mehdi bowled, Taskin seems devastating. Mustafiz has played very well in the IPL.
At that time, a journalist reminded the name of Tawhid Hriday to the BCB president. This right-handed batsman has scored runs in two matches, remaining unbeaten in both matches. Hriday was the man of the match after playing an innings of 37 runs in the second T20. But Nazmul Hasan didn't want to say his name, his performance worsened when he praised his idea. He said, 'heart, if you don't say it, it will get worse again. It means he still has a lot to learn.
Recently, Shakib Al Hasan said in an event that playing a series against Zimbabwe is not ideal for World Cup preparation. This time was preparation for Bangladesh. When asked about the experienced all-rounder's comment, the BCB president said, Shakib may have said it jokingly. The BCB president thinks that Shakib would have played the T20 against Zimbabwe without playing the 50-over Premier League if the preparations were calculated.
Nazmul Hasan said, 'We are playing a series with Zimbabwe, this is also T20. Before this we have played BPL, we have seen crowded BPL. It was a competitive game. Before that we played a full series with Sri Lanka. Still needs preparation! I think that's what he said. If that was the case... he could have played T20 and ODI too. But he is playing ODI. He seems to have done mischief with you.
Before the 2022 T20 World Cup, Bangladesh plays a series against Pakistan and New Zealand. They are playing series with them in Zimbabwe and USA before this World Cup. When asked to compare the preparation, the BCB president said that he does not see the series against Zimbabwe as preparation for the World Cup. Besides explaining the reason for playing the series in the United States, Nazmul Hasan said, 'This series against Zimbabwe is not a preparation for the World Cup. This is our FTP game. Do I give them points in the FTP game? It has nothing to do with it.'
And in the United States we want to play them (Bangladesh team) their conditions, wickets; To adjust to everything. If you ask me, we should have ended it earlier. If you talk about preparation, there is no preparation two weeks before. What should have been done earlier. I think, the number of series we play, the whole series with Sri Lanka, this year's BPL is crowded, well played. This is what preparation is supposed to be. He said.
