On the verge of shameful t20 series defeat against UAE. Nothing to take away from UAE as they have been superb. Their opening batsman Mohammad Waseem also the captain is a good batsman and someone to watch out for.

We fell short of 20/30 runs in the first two games. The pitch was absolutely belter. Fizz bailed us out somewhat in the first game and the bowlers and fielders were horrible in the second game.

Liton is a horrible captain. His bowling rotation is just rubbish. There is no sense or thought in it. Don't know why hes made captain for the next two years when his place is in doubt. We are carrying Shanto in the squad for some unknown reason. Sending Mahedi at 5 was a mistake and dropping Parvez in the second game after he made a century was foolish. Also they dropped Hasan Mahmud when he was the only one who moved a bit under lights. The rotation policy is a mess overall.

I did not have too many hopes on Faruk Ahmed (now sacked BCB president) when he took the job. Didn't think it was the right choice. Aminul Islam is far better choice than him. He was working with ICC in their development project and played a good role in resurrecting cricket in Afghanistan. Glad that he took the job for us now.

What can we do other than go back to the grassroots level and rebuild? Since 2011, when we failed massively in the home World Cup, there have been talks about rebuilding from the grassroots. Now it’s 2025, and there’s been no real improvement. I wonder how much actual work has been done. Fifteen years is more than enough time to see results. I understand the team is in transition with Tamim and Shakib retiring from all formats, but the current players have been around for quite some time. So that can’t be used as an excuse.

These players now lack basic skills, and it seems like they’re not doing much to improve. Liton and Shanto still look like the same players they were years ago. You can expect a big century every 20 matches or so, that’s about it.

Guys like Tanzid Tamim and Parvez Emon, who should have been the products of grassroots development efforts (starting from 2015), are nothing but shadows of Liton and Shanto. Clearly, something is horribly wrong with our setup. I honestly don’t know how we can overcome this.

It’ll be a massive disappointment if we’re having the same conversation again in 2035. No vision, no plan- just the same broken wheel year after year.

You have good crop of young fast bowlers(rana hassan) just need one or two decent batsmen

Few pace bowlers came through the ranks that I wont disagree but they are lacking in skills too. Nahid Rana has only pace with no movement at all. You need a bit of movement with pace. The most promising Hasan Mahmud gets dropped every now and then. Tanzim Sakib is too raw.
