Look for more robust cricketers
One the other hand, many of our players give away their wickets simply because they go for big shots. I believe this is dangerous at the beginning, because our players are small and not strong like Pakistanis or Indians, and, therefore, they should go for singles or twos and only after achieving a good score, they can go for big strokes.
I hope our team will do much better in the days to come. I have great hope in Ashraful, Golla, Alok, Bashar, Rafique, Tapash, Pilot, Mahmud and others, and I also would plead for Enamul Jr. who has by now shown his great potential. Why don't we include him in our national team?
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. I have a request to Dav Whatmore: please include fresh and talented cricketers in Bangladesh cricket team by releasing old and out of form cricketers. It is painful to see players like Rajin Saleh, Ashraful and even the captain Habibul Basher failing miserably when they are to act like real anchors to save the team from disasters. The on-going Asia Cricket Cup tournament is the best example of their performance. If they have adopted the name Tiger, then they should play like tigers.
We are tired of witnessing our team being thrashed in every match. As a backseat spectator, I have a simple question for our frontline cricketers: how can they justify their position and achievements as members of the national team?
