DHAKA, Oct 11, 2022 (BSS)- Bangladesh's T20 technical consultant
Sridharan Sriram claimed that the Tigers are moving in right direction even
though no improvement of the side in this format is visible as of now as they
continue to losing against big teams.

    Sriram said that they have got the basic squad after experimenting a lot
and this squad has the ability to take Bangladesh's T20 cricket to another
level.

    According to the Indian coach, Bangladesh will get the best combination
before the T20 World Cup and at the same time he believes that everyone will
be proud of the brand of cricket that Bangladesh will play in the World Cup.

    "I request all the supporters and media stay by our side. It is a matter
of the country, a matter of everyone's emotions. I can confirm, the boys are
trying their best to bring glory to the country. One of our values in this
team is to make Bangladesh proud and bring victory to the fans," Sriram said.

     "I want to be patient. We have got a basic squad who will do well in the
future. We are also waiting for the World Cup. We will get the answer to
everything, we will fix the team. The brand of cricket we will play, we will
definitely give pride to Bangladesh," he added.

    Bangladesh will play two more matches against Pakistan and the hosts New
Zealand. Sriram's players however put up a mediocre show in the first leg
match against Pakistan and New Zealand. Basically the batting sank Bangladesh
in both of the game.

    "We want to continue the experiment. Every day we give boys different
roles and challenges. We are in the process of getting to know them. We have
to be very calm. There will be ups and downs in international cricket. We
have to be steady in these fluctuating times," Sriram remarked.

    Despite losing to Pakistan and New Zealand, Sriram noted some improvement
in the two matches, "There has been a lot of improvement. Our middle order
has shown a lot of improvement. The way Rabbi (Yasir) played that day,
dealing with the extreme pace of Haris Rauf, the way Nurul (Sohan) played
Trent Boult, and these are definitely positive indications. They are among
the best bowlers in the world, playing against them should give you a lot of
confidence."

    "It's encouraging to see the way Shanto came back in the team. Although
he got out for 30 runs (actually 33 runs), the way he batted against Boult
and Southee, there are definitely a lot of positives to take away," said the
Indian coach.

    Sriram also saw a positive vibe in pace bowling department after seeing
that the pacers executing the plan well.
 "The way Taskin bowled in the first match, Shoriful came into the team and
bowled a hard length against Finn Allen in the second match, the way Hasan
Mahmud came back from injury and bowled in the two matches, these are
positive aspects," Sriram concluded.
