New Age | Not a new era, the same old problem!

Before the first test against Zimbabwe, which began on Sunday at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, the captain of Bangladesh Najmul Hossain Shanto said that a new era for Bangladesh would begin.

But the words of the captain turned out to be empty speech when it comes to the performance of the team on the opening day.

Bangladesh was bundled for 191 runs, which was the eighth of 13 times when the tigers were all for a value of less than 200 runs.

The opening partnership had stalled again, as was the case lately. However, the 31-run stand between Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan was the highest in the last 12 innings.

This showed how bad the run for Bangladesh has been recently.

Shanto, who himself pointed out the fact that he got out after last year, fell into this cycle when he threw his wicket away after 40 runs.

Mushfiqur Rahim, who played his 95th test, had now not hit fifty out of 10 innings in which he was released. Mominul Haque, another veteran, also threw away his wicker after making a fifty.

The relatively young and the experienced, battery from both categories, again did not appear for the team.

Mohammad Salahuddin, the national team’s leading coach of the national team, believed that the battery made tactically mistakes.

“I think we made some mistakes tactically,” said Salahuddin reporters after the first day.

“And in the mental aspect we have played a few shots as if a dough was equipped according to the set. This is a mental setback. I think there are no some to follow the routine. How to start every delivery and stay in the routine. In this regard we have to work quickly. The boys have to understand that,” he added.

Salahuddin admitted that the Wicket was not difficult to score and also said that the battery had repeatedly made the same mistake.

He said: “We have to find a way so that the boys can quickly correct it. I don’t say that it cannot be done, but it has to be done quickly. ‘

He also repeated the fact that there was no problem in terms of work ethics or so.

He said: ‘The boys decided a lot in their mentalities to achieve a lot. You are aware of your self -improvement. Maybe we were very poor today, but it cannot be said that they don’t try or don’t intend to go to the next level. ‘

“But I think we want to build something new and we are working on it. We are trying to improve. But I think our eyelash did not go well today, and the bowling didn’t go. But we will try to be in the game quickly,” added the coach.

Salahuddin also mentioned that the problem was not easy because he believed that it was deeply rooted in the country’s cricket system.

He said: »A country’s cricket system cannot be dependent on certain players. It depends on how your structure is and what challenges you get so far that you get so far. And to face this challenge:

“They came from playing in the Premier League, where the gates behave differently. Now you should play a different ball game. The Cricket structure depends on how much the boys are in front of the level,” he continued.

“You can say that the openers do not cut off well in the last six tests. Now they have to find some new boys and it will take time to prepare him. Maybe we give him time and think that it will work. But we only have limited resources and don’t want to think about what we don’t have. So we have to find a way quickly,” he concluded.
