Win Projections to be updated soon
Taskin Ahmed remains unfazed by fan criticism and aims to maintain focus on the upcoming T20 World Cup despite Bangladesh’s series victory over Zimbabwe. Despite Bangladesh securing a series victory against Zimbabwe in the ongoing T20I series, a section of their fans has been dismissive of the achievement, attributing it to the lower-ranked status of the opposition.
Taskin Ahmed, however, has brushed off these criticisms, emphasizing the team’s goal of preparing for the T20 World Cup in June.
Taskin Ahmed said
“Our goals are World Cup-oriented but we don’t control what conditions we play in or against which opposition we play,” Taskin said. “We have to give our best in all conditions. If we can get into the World Cup with five or ten per cent improvement, we can then start well in that tournament. There’s a lot of talk about Zimbabwe as an opponent but if we lose against them, there will be a lot of other talk.”
Taskin, who has been in impressive form in the series, highlighted the team’s approach of focusing on their performance rather than external opinions. He acknowledged that while victories against smaller teams may not receive as much credit, the team remains focused on improving and preparing for the upcoming challenges.
Reflecting on his own performance, Taskin expressed satisfaction with his rhythm, which he felt was better than during previous tournaments. He attributed this improvement to his dedication to training and rehabilitation after the 2023 World Cup.
“While the IPL in India has been characterized by high-scoring matches, conditions in Bangladesh have been different, leading to lower scores,” Taskin said. “Despite this, he emphasized the team’s commitment to giving their best against Zimbabwe, even though they may be considered weaker opponents compared to IPL teams.”
Taskin also praised the emergence of new fast bowlers in Bangladesh’s domestic cricket, highlighting their performance and dedication. He believes that their presence will not only strengthen the national team but also motivate other fast bowlers to maintain a high standard in their game.
