Slow coaches at top an impending problem for Tigers

A show of ‘Power’ had been missing in ‘Powerplays’ for Bangladesh in the past editions of the T20 World Cups, as batters have more often than not failed to make use of the field restrictions in the first six overs -- a handicap that has hindered the team’s fortunes in the competition.

‘Type of cricket’ biggest concern for Tigers

The scepticism and queries over the team’s preparation were not at all surprising, considering how poorly the Tigers have fared in the last two T20 World Cups -- only winning over low-ranked Netherlands and Zimbabwe in 2022 while suffering a humiliating loss to Scotland the year before in the previous edition.

Shakib, Soumya, Mustafizur return for last two T20Is

Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar and Mustafizur Rahman were called up for the last two Twenty20 Internationals against Zimbabwe, which will be played in Mirpur on May 10 and 12.

Meanwhile, Sujon asserted that the new selection panel has created a balanced team with the preparatory squad.

Stretchers, a collision and a concussion sub

Soumya won't be able to bat in the Bangladesh chase and the management has named Tanzid Hasan Tamim as his concussion substitute.

Soumya and Liton ‘put their hands up’ on getting approach wrong in first T20I

Coach Hathurusingha said, “It’s not about this pair but correcting what we have done wrong in the past. 

Will the trials stop with Soumya-Liton?

Bangladesh have not had a stable opening pair in a while. Even looking at the records over the last two years, there have been 13 different opening pairs turning up for the Tigers. The need for a stable opening stand has been felt, especially as taking advantage of field restrictions is paramount to success in the shortest format of the game.

I was confident I did not edge the ball: Soumya

Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar said that he was confident that he had not edged the ball, clarifying why he never hesitated to review his initial caught-behind decision during the Tigers’ second T20I against Sri Lanka in Sylhet yesterday.

What forced Soumya to retire hurt?

Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar showed glimpses of return to form in the second and third ODIs of the three-match series against New Zealand, but could not finish things off for his side due to a bizarre issue.
