Bangladesh got the first opponent in the Super Twelve against the Netherlands, who had passed the first round. Apart from this match, all the rest are very tough opponents – India, Pakistan, and South Africa. Will Bangladesh win a match? In response, Sriram said in Brisbane on Thursday, “If possible, I want to win all five matches. All teams play to win. But we have to understand the reality.â€?/p>

However, Sriram does not want to think about winning five matches right now. He said, “It is important to progress by playing one match at a time. We will think about the first match first. You have to think during the match. Small parts of the match must be won. Thinking about five matches at the same time will increase the pressure. It is better to proceed with one match at a time.â€?/p>

Meanwhile, the team does not have a big hitter. However, Sriram sees the big field as an opportunity. He said, ‘Big field will be helpful for us. Our batters like to use pace. We have no available heaters. They can hit the ball in the right place. Running between the wickets is good.’

He said, “The boys are positive and learned something great. The atmosphere of the team is great. The atmosphere in the dressing room is excellent.�/div>

After Sriram took over, Bangladesh was knocked out of the group stage after losing two matches in the Asia Cup. Then somehow won the series against a weak team like the UNITED Arab Emirates. The defeat started again on the stage of the ongoing tri-series. Bangladesh has lost both matches so far. It can be said that the remaining two matches will also be lost. Sriram has received a lot of materials from the two matches against Pakistan and New Zealand in the current series.

In a video message sent by BCB, Sriram said, “There has been a lot of improvement. Our middle order has shown a lot of improvement. The way Rabbi (Yasir) played in front of Haris Rauf that day, and the way Nurul played Trent Boult, are definitely positive signs. He is among the best bowlers in the world. You should get a lot of confidence playing against them. ‘

Talking about the performance of the bowlers, Sriram said, “The pace bowlers are now able to execute the plan better. The way Taskin bowled in the first match, Shariful came to the team in the second match and bowled hard length against Finn Allen, and the way Hasan bowled in the two matches after recovering from the injury, are the positive aspects. Fizz (Mustafiz) is working on a couple of things. He will turn around strongly. Ibadat and Saif will also get their chance. ‘

However, cricket fans of the country believe that Mahmudullah was worthy of not taking Nazmul Hasan Shanto in terms of performance.

Sridharan Sriram, the technical consultant of the Tigers, cited an example while explaining the exclusion of Mahmudullah in that trial.

He meant that in the T20 format, performance is not the main thing, but how much influence the cricketers can make in the match is the main thing.

Sriram said that even if there are performers, any team can lose. But if we have a lot of influential players in our team, we will win more matches. In T20, the impact surpasses everything, even the performance.

Sriram spoke at his first press conference in Dhaka after the announcement of Bangladesh’s squad for the T20 World Cup at Sher-e-Bangla In Mirpur on Wednesday.

At this time, the Indian coach also gave an example to explain the reason for Mahmudullah’s omission.

Sriram said, “I am emphasizing influencing the game in the match. Not on performance. If seven or eight players make an impact in the match, Bangladesh will win. For me, the impact is to score 25 or 30 off 17/18 balls. Let me give you a small example. The way Mosaddek batted in that over of Hasaranga after Mahmudullah was dismissed in the match against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup (Mahmudullah made 27 off 22 balls in that match). Mosaddek’s run is not 24 *). That’s what influence is called. â€?/p>

Stating that the importance of performance is less now, Sriram said, “There is no point in finding performance now. In my opinion, performance in T20is is an overrated issue. You can’t always win matches even if you perform regularly. But the more players make an impact on the match, the chances of winning the match will increase. â€?/p>

That is, not to score consistent runs in the match; Sriram sees it as a big way to increase the collection by hitting four-sixes to influence the bowler in times of need.

Participating in a press conference on Thursday night, Sriram said, ‘I was just leaving the responsibility of Cricket Australia and commenting on the TNPL. Then Khaled Mahmud Sujon called me. He said BCB wants to get me as a technical consultant. Things happened very quickly after that. Now I am in front of you. I think I have been able to join the Bangladesh team very easily.â€?/p>

The former Indian all-rounder also clarified what is the job of a coach or a technical consultant. He said, ‘I am very clear about my role. There are some skilled coaches on the coaching staff. I hope they do a great job. My main job is to work in coordination with the captain, team director, and these skilled coaches. The main plan is to utilize my T20 coaching experience gained in Australia and IPL. I am not saying that I am leading the team. I’ll just put everything together.’

However, Shakib Al Hasan needs a leg-spinner for practice. Rashid Khan and Wanindu Hasaranga are also thinking about preparing to deal with the two opponents in the group stage of the upcoming Asia Cup, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka. Rishad Hossain flew to Dubai yesterday despite not being a member of the squad.

The role of this young leg-spinner is only that of a net bowler. Taskin Ahmed and Anamul Haque Bijoy, who joined the team a day later due to visa complications, have also joined the team. Jalal Yunus, head of BBC’s cricket operations committee, said, “The people we have to play with have good leg-spinners in their team. So they have to prepare to play in the nets. But Rishad has been sent because it is difficult to find such a net bowler in Dubai. â€?/p>

However, Rishad is not alone, two foreign leg-spinners are also going to be part of the Bangladesh team in Dubai for bowling in the nets. One of them is flying from Chennai, India. The other lives in Dubai. Confirming their inclusion, Jalal said, “Yes, a leg-spinner from Chennai is going to Dubai. There will also be an Emirates-based legio. Explaining the reason for taking the leggie from Chennai, he said, “We have tried a lot of leggies. Unfortunately, coaches don’t give them much opportunity in domestic cricket. They can’t be prepared that way if they don’t play matches. Apart from Rishad, there is no one at the moment. So one of the likes of our technical consultant Sreedharan Sriram is being taken from Chennai. â€?/p>

Bangladesh now has to raise its hand outside the country even for the net bowlers as some have been lost in the promise of huge possibilities at times. There is no news of Zubair Hossain. Jalal said that the news of Aminul Islam Biplob, who contributed with two wickets for 22 runs in the first T20 win against India in Delhi in November 2019, is also not beneficial. They said that the revolution is batting better now than bowling. Bowling is not good at all. �/p>

Khaled Mahmud Sujon has answered the question of why Sriram is being included instead of Domingo. The national team’s team director’s explanation â€?“Domingo cannot match the pace, nature, and philosophy of the T20 format. BCB does not like his thoughts and plans about T20. Therefore, India’s T20 specialist Sriram has been appointed as the technical director of the national team in this format for the next three months.â€?/p>

Khaled Mahmud Sujon said, ‘Look, every person has different thoughts. My philosophy or yours is different. So does every coach. To be honest, Domingo’s philosophy may not match ours. It is known to all, it is understood that we are not able to perform in the T20 format. So what is the problem if there is a different philosophy for the country, for cricket? Let’s see, what happens with this new thinking. We can do a lot of experiments in this format. But maybe we can do something like that in test matches too. Look, even after playing Tests for so many years, we are not able to be stable in Test cricket.â€?/p>

In other words, BCB wants to see how Shakib-Riyadh plays on Sriram’s advice. The former captain of the national team said, ‘Since Sriram works a lot with the T20 team, he will have some inputs. As he is from Asia, our culture is similar. Conversation or communication will also be easy. We will see a change after his arrival.â€?But is Domingo being released from the post of T20 coach? And how will the head coach of the Bangladesh team take the matter?

Sujon said, “Domingo is a professional coach. As long as I worked with him, he seemed to be quite positive as a person. I don’t think it will be a big deal.’
