Of the nine teams that have managed to play all the editions of the T20 World Cup since its inauguration in 2007 (Bangladesh, West Indies, India, Australia, England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and South Africa), the Tigers are the only side to have never qualified for the semifinal of the tournament.
Bangladesh’s 15-member T20 World Cup squad posed for a photo session in their national team suits following a practice session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and head coach Chandika Hathurusingha spoke in their final press conference before leaving the country. The Tigers will fly to the USA in the early hours of Thursday and will play a three-match series against the co-hosts of the T20 World Cup before taking part in a warm-up game to complete their build-up to the major event.
