Bangladesh promising left-arm spinner Taijul Islam said he is eyeing to play in all three formats of the games with his new changed bowling action.
Taijul informed he is working on his new bowling action to bring its perfection with the help of the Tigers spin-bowling consultant Daniel Vettori.
He is regularly bowling against the batsmen at the net practice session as well as at the center wickets of the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Mirpur.
“I am personally working on my bowling. I have talked with Vettori about my bowling action after which I have changed my bowling. In the meantime, I start bowling against batsmen. My bowling action has adjusted with my physique,” Taijul islam said.
“As of now I feel no problem despite bowling for a long time. I had some personal bowling sessions. Each player did a one-two hour session. By doing those sessions, the players have been benefited for it for which they could do their work as per their own will,” Taitul told media via BCB after his optional practice session, which was monitored by head coach Russell Domingo, fast-bowling coaching Ottis Gibson, fielding coach Ryand Cook at the SBNCS.
“Confidence level means I have started bowling against batsmen for the last two weeks. The self-confidence has increased. It will also be increased further with the passage of time,” he added.
Taijul had not many variations in his previous bowling action by whom it was an uphill task for him to bring something extraordinary for the team and its success.
Keeping those in mind, he consulted with Vettori and decided to change his bowling action in order to get much benefit from it.
According to Taijul, he started getting its reward by bowling against the batsmen.
“Basically the action I had previously was beneficial for me to go bowling place to place. But it’s tough for me to continue bowling in all the three formats of games. There was less intensity of bowling variation in it,” said the 28-year-old spinner, who is thought to be a carbon copy of Shakib Al Hasan’s bowling.
“I have talked with Vettori about the current bowling action. He told me I could continue bowling in three formats of games with it. Considering different aspects of the bowling, bounce and different diversity, I have changed my bowling action. I meanwhile start getting its reward by bowling against the bowlers. The new action helps me from the aspect of diversity,” he said further.
