The global pandemic novel coronavirus has brought the entire world into a standstill since mid-March. While it has already claimed several lives worldwide, it has cancelled or postponed many series as well.
However, after a few months, things have been returning into the zone so as cricket. While international cricket has returned, players have started their practice too. And, Bangladesh players are no different. They have also started their individual practice as well but sometimes they have been facing issues after returning an imposed break of the pandemic.
Recently, Bangladesh player Mehedi Hasan has shared that he has been facing it tough after coming back from a long break of five-six month. Notably, he started bowling in Mirpur.
"After a long time, I started bowling in, Mirpur. Especially after five-six months, I have been bowling here, for three or four days. I feel good. But it started after a long time, there is no control, it feels quite uncomfortable. But I think to take fit myself as much possible and will continue on the field," he said. "Before that, I bowled in Khulna, practice started in Mirpur for several days. I feel hesitant, bowling is not going good what I want. I am trying to bowling in my own place as soon as possible."
"I am trying to bring the ball back as it was before. For this, starting from the drill I am working on the things which are needed in bowling department. I talked to my coach, he also discussed to me about how it would be better. From my debut, it was a good three years. But the last series before lockdown or two or three previous series was not good as I wanted. I worked on it but could not do it for the lockdown. I think the game is starting, practice is already started. I will try to do better by getting myself as early as possible. I want to get back that way as like I bowled before," Hasan further added.
"There are challenges for our spinners in foreign pitch, especially on me. I think the economy is important there, line and length as well. To get success in there, it's needed to emphasize in line and length, it's needed to put the ball continue in a good place, there is no help from the wicket. There is not as much help form wicket like our country and especially the wicket in Asia. But still practising as much as possible, working on lacings. How it would be better, especially talked with our foreign coach Daniel Vettori. He gave us special tips, how we can do better. Hopefully, we will work together in the next upcoming days, he will able to provide good theory on how to do well," he again shared.
He concluded, "After a long time I bowled to everyone. I bowled almost all batsman. I felt hesitate, bowling was not quite well. As I bowling today, I fell a little bit good. Those who are batsman, batting after a long time, playing better. Especially if I bowl a little bit better it will be better. Actually everyone is trying to get back themselves as they were before. Hopefully, every batsman and bowler will get back themselves in very soon."
