As much as the cricket supporters of Bangladesh are interested in the start of the ICC event, the jokes continue when the tournament starts. Because, in the ICC event, Bangladesh is now a regular picture. According to Akram Khan, director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), there is a lack of quality cricketers in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has been overwhelmed by the ICC event since the 2020 ODI World Cup. The Asian team has confirmed the Champions Trophy to win two matches in the ODI World Cup. Later, Bangladesh failed to raise hope of the semifinals in the 2021 Twenty20 World Cup. Bangladesh's sweat was also rushed to win against Nepal. This time, the Champions Trophy lost 2 matches from the group stage. You are excluded from the Test Championship.
Where Bangladesh has been doing badly in the last 6 months, the neighboring India have made it to the final of three ICC tournaments. One of them is the champion. India is not lacking in this year's Champions Trophy, but India is not lacking in a star cricketer like Jaspreet Bumrah. All -rounders like Hardik Pandia, Akshay Patel are performing regularly. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Ayers are also in great form. Explaining where Bangladesh cricket is pushing, Akram told the media today in Mirpur, “If you do not improve yourself, you will not be a good cricketer. You can be a good cricketer but you need a quality cricketer. The problem is now in Bangladesh, we have a lot of good cricketers but the quality cricketer is much less. That (quality cricketer) is much higher in other countries. '
Nazmul Hossain Shant scored the highest run in the 2021 BPL. However, he has failed badly in the 2021 ODI World Cup, 2021 T20 World Cup. This year's Champions Trophy scored 5 runs in one match but gave many dot balls. Akram feels it is important to improve the skill of how to play in international cricket rather than doing good in domestic cricket. The BCB director said, “We may have been domestic cricket, some runs in the BPL and think that I have become a very good cricketer. In fact, you should think about themselves. When we play international cricket, how many miles we will deal with the ball, what spinners will deal with, they are actually a matter of concern and they will go to a good stage if they improve. That said, you have to try in both directions. You will need a cricket board, the cricketer will also be. '
Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe bin Mortuza, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad – these Panchapandabas have won many matches Bangladesh. At present, Mushfiq and Mahmudullah are the only ones. According to Akram, in the past, Mahmudullah-Mushfiq has been built in his own efforts. The BCB director said, “Bangladesh's facilities are increasing day by day. If you think that way, the privileges of 5 years ago were much lower than now. Then our Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiq, Riyadh, Mashrafe, Ashraful they have come out. The only reason they come out have made a lot of progress in person. The Cricket Board will help you as much as you can. '
Tamim announced his retirement from international cricket in a announcement on Facebook on January 5 this year. He was given a royal reception at the BPL final on February 7. Responding to the question of whether Tamim was needed on the board, Akram said, 'It depends on the board, who wants to go. As I wanted to come to the board after the game. I came to the cricket board. Many did not come. Maybe they are not interested. '
