Following their dismal showing in the just-finished ODI World Cup, Bangladesh encountered a great deal of criticism. The current objective is to perform better at the 2024 T20 World Cup, and head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that the team will start preparing for this event with the forthcoming three-match series against New Zealand. In order to find important players who can have a big impact in the West Indies and the USA, where the tournament will be held, the 55-year-old stated that the team hopes to do well in the 11 games that remain before the major event.
On home soil, Bangladesh has a dismal record compared to New Zealand.
It won’t be an easy challenge for the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team because they have never been able to win a T20I series there. Hathurusingha thinks that their victory over New Zealand in the series’ last ODI will give the team more confidence since they will want to do the same thing in Napier.
There isn’t a T20 match that we have won here. This was just like playing one-day cricket, except in the final game, we prevailed. The ODI victory over New Zealand at Napier will undoubtedly help. Mentally, a good win makes you feel good because you accomplished something you want to repeat regardless of the format, and that will give us confidence going into the T20Is, according to a Cricbuzz quote from Hathurusingha.
Attempting to finalize our plans: Hathurusingha
During the New Zealand series, the head coach is determined to work on their T20 World Cup plans. The event is scheduled to start in less than six months, and he talked about obtaining the proper combination for it. The objective, the former cricket player continued, is to play and strategize according to the circumstances.
“Plan-wise conditions require.” We are attempting to finalize our preparations in preparation for the T20 World Cup, which we want to play a lot of our plans concurrently with. We have 11 games left and the BPL comes next, but since this is a national squad, our goal is to find a lineup and assign the players positions that they will essentially play at the World Cup. That is the objective, he said.
