Bangladesh will go up against the Netherlands in match no. 28 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday. The two teams are near the bottom of the Points table currently with just 1 win from their 4 matches so far.
Bangladesh skipper Shakib al Hasan had flown home just before the World Cup 2023 match against the Netherlands to work in Dhaka with his personal coach. However, Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed felt that it didn’t affect the morale of the team.
“No, actually it’s not affected much. I think after when he came back, we had a really good time, all of our teammates. But actually, he went for some improvements, you know, like he was not batted well as he expected. But he went to do some specific practice to do well for our team, like we should more appreciate that, I think. Because he talked with our management, BCB - then he went, and also, we had rest day that day. So, on official practice day, he’s here. So, I think we should appreciate it more, and we don’t have any problem, and we are not affected with any problems,” Taskin Ahmed said in the pre-match press conference.
Pacer Taskin Ahmed will be back in the Bangladesh side after overcoming a shoulder niggle and will be expected to replace Hasan Mahmud. While Towhid Hridoy is likely to replace Nasum Ahmed to provide more batting strength to the Bangladesh side after their loss to South Africa in their last match in Mumbai.
