Bangladesh’s ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal claimed that he is getting an idea about how his workforce is shaping up towards next year’s 50-above World Cup. Bangladesh clean up-swept West Indies in the ODI sequence and look to have a blueprint for achievements in the format, getting sauntered to victory in the Caribbean regardless of lacking 3 vital gamers in Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Yasir Ali.
“Obviously our target is 2023 Entire world Cup and there is no doubt in it and we are in that procedure( of making the group for the tournament) but to be honest I don’t want to seem way too considerably in advance mainly because you never ever know what will occur and points like that as to who is hurt and who is there in the team and who is not,” he stated.
“But I can say I am finding minimal bit of thought about what type of mix I will be enjoying if a single or two key gamers are missing owing to injuries. I would not say my team is totally ready and all those people matters but we are getting some ideas for confident,” added Tamim, who has now received five ODI collection as captain.
Tamim supplied a term of caution amid the optimism, stating that his facet experienced many places of advancement and wouldn’t be drawn into ranking the series earn much too hugely offered the spinning nature of wickets.
“I do not want to amount this collection pretty hugely. We have won the series but I am not way too excited about it mainly because there is as well substantially help for spinners in this wicket and that is why it is not like we have won the world. When we engage in in greater wickets we have to be much better to get the game titles. I know the wicket was complicated but not unplayable. if we could chase this runs by seven by 8 wickets than we could have said that there was some advancement,” mentioned Tamim.
“There was a time when it seemed video games my might go this way or that way and these are the little issues that we have to search at. When you participate in on much better wickets and from much better opposition you in no way know and you may well be in issues. There are good deal of parts to increase both of those in batting and bowling and just simply because we are winning all the complications are not solved.
“We have challenges and I am surely gradually we are ticking all the containers. When a group wins, at the position people today are likely to cover the weak details but I you should not think that way due to the fact when you are winning it is the correct time to detect that we are possessing difficulty in these areas. I am trying and I am hoping that it will be good in the long run,” he claimed.
In the meantime, Tamim revealed that he backed out from making wholesale alterations to the group, as initially indicated, for the third ODI on the insistence of the administration.
“When I spoke with the administration (about testing the bench power) they felt we should really go with the total strength and we did that. We were being meant to make just one modify simply because we realized that we will be taking part in in the identical wicket all over again and so we determined to enjoy Taijul in position of just one tempo bowler. But I experienced the desire (to see bench toughness) as I said earlier but I am confident with what the administration reported mainly because I felt when the workforce is doing nicely we should really complete it off as nicely.
“I imagine heading ahead we need to see the bench strength or else how can I fully grasp Taijul or Mossadek have all those traits. We have to see the bench power and we might not modify five players at the identical time but if we can do with one particular or two players, it is much better and that is how we must shift forward. The finest teams in ODIs do it that way and when they gain the collection they modify their team. In all probability we have to be little bit braver to do it due to the fact we have never ever done it before and we should recognize that as there is confusion but I am confident in future you will see people will get whole lot much more probabilities,” he reported.
