Emotional Taskin Ahmed vows to make a comebacks he failed to make a cut in the 15-member World Cup squad, announced by Bangladesh Cricket Board on Tuesday.

Taskin could not check his emotions while expressing his disappointments to the media in front of the academy premises hours after the squad was announced by the national selection panel.

‘’Its’ ok just pray for me,’’ Taskin told reporters without trying to hide his tears that was rolling down his cheek.    

‘’I tried my level best to regain fitness but unfortunately probably that was not enough,’’ he said.

‘’What can I say apart from just bad luck,’’ he said.

‘’The only thing that I can say is that I will make a comeback by performing consistently,’’ he said.

Earlier Taskin announced that he can still make it into the World Cup squad by regaining fitness ahead of the global tournament.

Taskin had earlier returned to the national fold when he was picked for the New Zealand tour following his performances in the Bangladesh Premier League where he picked up 22 wickets in 12 games. But an ankle injury sustained in one of those games while attempting a catch at the boundary line ruled him out of the tour.

Following the injury, Taskin was advised three weeks of rest to recover fully while a rehabilitation program was also put in place.

To prove his match fitness he even played in the DPL but all his efforts went into vain as national selection panel kept faith on uncapped Abu Jayed ahead of the fast bowler.

‘’We were thinking of him for a long time,’’ said chief selector Minhajul Abedin regarding their plan about Taskin.
