Tanzid Hasan Tamim, the opener for Bangladesh, said he was happy with the cricket board’s camp before the BPL on Monday, December 8. Prior to the Bangladesh Premier League, the nation’s only franchise-based T20 competition, the BCB arranged a brief coaching session for the T20 hitters under the direction of head coach Phil Simmons.
Since the World Cup begins right away after the BPL, the batters won’t have much time to hone their talents, therefore BCB came up with this strategy. “Everything is going great. Having such a specific batting camp is quite beneficial because we won’t have much time after the BPL. After the practice, Tanzid told reporters, “We’ve been working on what extra skills we showed in the last few series and how we can improve from there.”
“We’re also working on what regions bowlers would target in a World Cup or other major tournament, as well as the kind of game plans opponents might have for us. He stated, “The coaches have been constantly concentrating on one thing: how to find gaps and bat in the powerplay.”
“Basically, it’s about match conditions: how we can identify gaps in the fielders’ positions, what kind of field a bowler might set, and where they might be. We occasionally take big chances in low-risk situations, which rapidly results in the loss of two or three wickets. Thus, we’re focussing on low-risk boundary scoring, keeping the scoreboard moving, and improving our batting technique,” Tanzid stated.
The prolific hitter, who averages 60 while chasing, said that he likes it when a target is in front of him. “Definitely (I like chasing).” You have a better understanding of the wicket’s characteristics and the opposition’s potential strategies after the first innings. It’s much simpler when you have a target in front of you,” the left-handed batter remarked.
“I think it gets easier if I can bat with that attitude. I believe I can succeed there as well if I can use the same strategy when batting first.” Tanzid added that they are prepared to bat wherever after the national team management made the controversial decision to switch up their openers in their most recent T20I lineup, which included Litton Kumar Das, Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, and Parvez Hossain Emon.
“To be honest, nobody is comfortable here. The team will use anyone is needed in that position. An opener was requested to bat at No. 3 or No. 4 even in the most recent series. Therefore, I don’t believe that anything is “settled” at all.
According to Tanzid, “the team will do whatever it feels is best.”
“I can’t really describe how it feels because I haven’t hit at three or four yet. But if I ever have the chance again, I’ll do my best to meet the team’s needs,” he added, adding that he hopes to have an influence at the world event. “I haven’t been able to play to my full capacity from the beginning of my career till now, particularly at ICC events. I’m constantly considering methods to improve my consistency throughout series. I’m attempting to regularly participate in ICC tournaments as well, though I’m not sure how successful I’ve been thus far,” he remarked.
“In the past, you could see that I would get off to strong starts in nearly every game, but I was unable to sustain myself or play lengthy innings; instead, I would get out in the middle. In order for me to turn solid beginnings into significant scores and possibly even win games, we’re now working on remaining psychologically stronger and fitter,” Tanzid stated.
Although things have somewhat improved, they can yet be improved. Step by step, I’m trying. I think I can compensate even if I only play a few dot balls. Sometimes you need singles and doubles instead of just hitting boundaries. “I want to convert strong starts into reliable high scores,” Tanzid said in closing.
