'Experienced' Bangladesh in the World Cup

Bangladesh Cricket Team has done a great show under Chandika Hathurusingh. Bangladesh, having become a strong opponent in the field of his coaching, played in the last quarter-finals of the World Cup. The former Tigers coach is now taking control of his country's Sri Lankan cricket team.

After leaving Hathurusingh, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon said, "When Hathru was appointed, he told me that if I could play Bangladesh in the semi-final of the World Cup, then what would you give me? I was amazed by his bravery. I think about it - there is a doubt about the team that will be able to play in the World Cup at all. The coach, however, is dreaming to play in the semi-final. He did what he had said. If the match against India was not bad umpiring then we would have won the semifinal. '

Bangladesh is more experienced in this World Cup than the team that last played in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza said.

Responding to a question at the press conference on Sunday after playing against Windies in Mirpur, Bangladesh ODI captain Mashrafei said, "This time the team is much more experienced. The young players we are talking about are playing for three to four years. Soumya plays for nearly four years, Imrul has played for a long time. Liton has played for two or three years. Their experience is much more. '

Mashrafe further said, "Everyone except Saifuddin in the pace bowling is very experienced. Most players were new players in 2015. That does not mean that we will play in the semi-finals this year! But we are in good condition with all of the experience. '

Note that the ICC Cricket World Cup will start in England on May 30.
