This is the best time to play the best cricket, says Simmons
After losing the series to the United Arab Emirates, the Bangladesh team is now in Pakistan. The Bangladesh team is said to be a little behind mentally. However, Tiger coach Phil Simmons says this is the best time to give their best cricket.
Simmons said at the press conference, "I don't know if it's the best time to beat Pakistan in T20Is. This is the best time to play our best cricket. We have come to win the series. Pakistan is a dangerous team at any time. It cannot be taken easily. They can play well on any day."
Mustafizur Rahman got injured in the match against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Tiger pacer was ruled out of the Pakistan series team due to that finger injury. Khaled Ahmed has entered the team in his place. In response to a question about Fiz, Simmons said, "Yes, Mustafizur is senior now. You will miss your senior pacer. We saw how he bowled in the IPL. We will miss him. But this is an opportunity for someone else to perform in three matches and earn a place.
Without Taskin and Mustafiz, there is some imbalance in the pace unit. Claiming this before the start of the series, the 62-year-old coach said, "I think bowling is our strength in this format. Without two senior bowlers like Taskin and Mustafiz, there may not be a complete balance."
The Bangladesh-Pakistan series will start on May 28. The second T20I will be on May 30 and the last on June 1. All matches will start at 9 pm Bangladesh time.
