Quite a few tournaments being organized by the associate teams are ongoing now. To name a few, we have the Malawi Quadrangular Twenty20 Series, Bulgaria Women's T20 Quadrangular Series and the Indonesia Tri-Nation T20I Series. But the most important one is definitely the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Region Final. Today there is a match between Netherlands and Scotland, two of the tournament favorites. But at this point, it is Italy who is leading the points table with 3 points from 2 matches.
We have been saying for a long time that Bangladesh cricket team needs big changes and reliable batsmen in the team but BCB is relying on the previous players who could not give Bangladesh anything in the last few years. There are some batsmen in Bangladesh who have not scored a century in the last three to four years and whose run average is very low. They are kept in the team in such a way that they are the auto choice of the team. If a player is not doing well, then why does BCB or why does it not give someone else a chance to play in his place.
When the players are in the team as auto choices, they will forget to perform because then they will feel that even if they play well, they can play in the national team and even if they play badly, they can play in their position. But when someone else is played in his place after a few bad matches, he will feel that he must perform well and if he does not perform well, he will not be able to enter the national team again. Bangladesh should try this once, I think this trick will work.
