Bangladesh skipper Mashrafee bin Murtaza insisted that his team mates need to keep their excitement under control as they are still a long way to go in the World Cup.

Bangladesh defeated South Africa by 21 runs to open their account in the global tournament on a perfect note and it is expected that this win will turn out as one of the most talked about incident for the next couple of day.

Mashrafee, who also became the most successful skipper for his country with four win out of six matches in the World Cup, seem to know it can also get into head of his team mates.

‘’One other thing is that, it’s very important for our players to stay calm. We have just won one match, there are 8 more matches to go.

‘’This win doesn’t take us anywhere in this tournament now. So, I don’t think we have to be very excited right now. Still a long way to go,’’ he said.

‘’I will say that we don’t have look that far yet. Its just one match, we were focused today, this match is over and we should stop thinking about it,’’ he said.

‘’We have to plan about our next match against New Zealand. And we have to make sure that we execute those plans against New Zealand. We should give more importance on this I think. If we had lost today’s match then I think this match wouldn’t have helped us either. We won today, may be it will improve our confidence.
