‘My leadership style will change over time.’ Speaker Tamim Iqbal. The three-match ODI series against the West Indies starts today.
In a pre-match online press conference on Tuesday, Bangladesh's ODI captain said that his goal is to play live in the 2023 World Cup. "Before the 2023 World Cup, we will play 26-27 ODIs," Tamim said. Every match is important to us because of the points system. It's not like the other ten series that if you lose something will come and go. Every match is important to qualify for the World Cup. We have to make sure we don't have to play in the qualifiers. We should be in the top eight. '
Bangladesh is starting its journey in ODI Super League today with a match against West Indies. The top eight teams in the Super League, including host India, will play in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Tamim Iqbal is starting his career as the ODI captain with the series against West Indies. His goal is to take Bangladesh's own brand of cricket forward. What Tamim said about the captaincy and the team at the press conference yesterday-
As a captain, I want to improve the Bangladeshi cricket brand. Each country has its own type. No one should be followed. We are not as strong as the West Indies, nor are we as strong as Australia. Where we play well is our brand. I want to focus there.
Leadership pressure ...
Before returning to international cricket, I captained in two domestic tournaments. I have learned a lot. The type of captaincy changes over time. Over time, I can understand where I am going. There will always be pressure in international cricket. The important thing is to adapt. I am ready for everything.
Debate is sometimes due, sometimes unreasonable. The real thing is to do your job properly. Maybe, even though the team is doing well, I am not enjoying the leadership. Then we can make a different decision. Ready for everything. I'm thrilled. Brother Mashrafe has done a lot. Now I will try my best.
With seven games of Saumya and Shakib ...
The coach decided to bat with Soumya. This message was given to Soumya four-five months ago. No one worthy of the seven was found. To be created. Before the President's Cup, Soumya has been asked to be mentally prepared for this position.
Shakib was also given a clear message at the beginning of the camp. I also spoke to him personally. He has no problem. I said, if you ever want to go back to number three, talk to me.
2023 World Cup and ODI Super League ...
Until the World Cup, we will probably play 26-27 ODIs. From now on, every match is very important for the points system. We don’t want to play play-offs to go to the World Cup. It doesn't matter what kind of team the West Indies send. Winning is important. I am returning to the field after almost a year. A good start to the match is important.
With pace bowling ...
We have a great pace bowling unit
There are. Everyone deserves to play in the best XI. Everyone is performing, playing well, having rhythm. The fight to get into the best XI among pace bowlers is good for the team.
Head-to-head
The match was not won by Bangladesh but by Windies
