Bangladesh fielding coach Ryan Cook believes Tigers need to put up a unified fielding effort in order to progress in the upcoming ICC World Cup in England.

With the World Cup approaching fast and the high-scoring match on card it is expected that fielding will be a key ingredients for any team to reach far beyond the group stage as it is believed if any fielding can few runs that will be an added advantage for that side.

''Fielding will be extremely important in the upcoming World Cup,’’ said Cook.

‘’You can have got a lot of things in cricket that are individualistic and fielding is one of the things that you do as a team,’’ he said.

‘’So, it is very important to save those five or ten runs because you never know if the game will be close one way or another,’’ he said.

According to Cook they will be constantly challenged by the quick out field in England and remaining consistent in the field will be crucial at those crunch hours.

‘’Sometimes you can face different things, in new Zealand we were challenged with the wind, in England I am sure we are going to be challenged with the very quick outfields,’’ said Cook.

‘’But they are very smooth, so you will be able to field really quickly off the ground. So, different conditions are slightly different but generally fielding is one of those things that stay constant,’’ he said.

Unlike some of the other countries where fielding is considered as an integral part of development the culture is quite different in this part of the region.

South African Cook said that he is aware of the cultural differences and trying to work out a plan to take the Bangladesh as leading fielding unit in the world map.

‘’I think we have come a long way since the West Indies when I joined in July last year, a lot more understanding on what we are trying to do, a lot more education on the techniques that we will be use in the World Cup,’’ he said.

‘’We have done a good camp here, we have done some good work with the guys that have been playing and haven’t been playing and I am really happy with the effort and energy they are bringing,’’ he said.

‘’ I think competing in the field will be very important, we have got a lot good and capable fielders , sometimes its not your strength to throw as fast as others then you compete in accuracy, sometimes you are not as fast as others but you can get to the catches that others cant because of your agility and flexibility,  so we are just gonna focus on our strength,’’ he said adding that at present Tigers are working on their high catches.
