Bangladesh team head coach Phil Simons has requested fans to be patient before the second Test against Zimbabwe. He said that time is needed to move forward in the long run. Just a day before the second Test against Zimbabwe in Chittagong, he gave such a message on Sunday before the series defeat.
In the first Test in Sylhet, the Tigers lagged behind in the series at a shameful rate of three wickets. For those who have not tasted the Test win for more than four years, such defeat has been upset in the minds of supporters. The storm of criticism has come down on the players.
The Caribbean coach paid homage to the supporters of the coach, saying that the field performance is needed. At the pre-match press conference in Chittagong, Simons said, “I am asking the people of Bangladesh to be patient. Their cricket-love is unparalleled. We want to build a structure that will give fruit in a long way. '
He also gave a message to the disciples to improve the team. According to him, 'boys have been informed – something was out unnecessarily. We need to improve every step in order to move forward. It is not enough to burn occasionally in two or three tests; We need continuity. '
But before the second Test, the big push is that speedster Nahid Rana is not. He went to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). It was already known. Although the runner's absence slows down the Tigers bowling attacks, Simmons is optimistic that the young pacers of the squad will be able to meet the lack of courage and skill, 'maybe the speed has decreased somewhat, but the efficiency is still intact. This subcontinent is not raw speed, but skill becomes main. I hope our bowlers will get the turn from the pitch, with their own ability to turn the match. '
According to him, 'Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed have valuable skills. (Tanzim) Shakib, although short, but there is a brightness of possibilities. We believe, I can still do well. '
