As successful as Bangladesh is in ODI cricket, it is as unsuccessful in T20. Bangladesh loses its color whenever it returns to this format. In the last T20 World Cup, the Tigers had a complete collapse. Desperate for success, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has changed everything from captain to coach to turn around.
Nazmul Hasan Papon has gone to UAE with the team to inspire Shakibs in the Asia Cup. Enjoyed the 2 matches of the tournament sitting in the team hotel with the players. Afghanistan’s aggressive batting against Sri Lanka is causing worry on Papon’s forehead.
However, in an interview with the media, Papon dismissed all concerns. On the contrary, the BCB boss made it clear that he is not afraid of any team. BCB president told reporters in the Emirates,
”We are not afraid of anyone. This is a big thing. We want to win the first match. So that we can be in a good position in the tournament.”
Papon also said about Afghanistan, ”Afghanistan cannot be underestimated. Very strong in T20. But we felt confident seeing every player. I am worried about my team. We are focusing on the first match. If we win this, we will win against Sri Lanka too.”
It should be noted that Bangladesh’s Asia Cup journey is starting from August 30. Today, the Tigers are facing Afghanistan at 8 pm Bangladesh time. Already, Afghanistan is in a very cheerful mood after defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in the first match of the tournament. Let’s see if Bangladesh under the leadership of Shakib can write a success story in the Asia Cup this time.
