Bangladesh’s ace all-rounder Shakib al Hasan said that he is disappointed as they lacked desperation in the ongoing World Cup as that was missing link despite putting all their effort.

Shakib tried his best with bat and ball throughout the tournament but somehow did not receive enough support from others that would have helped them to progress beyond the group stage.

Bangladesh were knocked out from the semi-final race after they lost to India by 28 runs and will end their World Cup campaign by playing against Pakistan at Lords on July 5.

Bangladesh started the tournament on a perfect note by beating South Africa but followed it by losing to New Zealand and England while had to share points in their next game against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh can curse them for losing the match against New Zealand as they were able to put them in pressure but ran out of gas when it was required the most in the middle and it seemed the men in green and red had to pay dearly for losing those two points.

From the start of the tournament Bangladesh managed to earn a name for them for playing a good brand of cricket but according to Shakib that was not good enough.

It is right that we played good [brand] of cricket but we didn’t come here to play good cricket. We wanted to win but we couldn’t do it,’’ said Shakib.

‘’I think it’s very disappointing because we couldn’t fulfill our dream that we had for this mega event. From that prospective, I think it's very disappointing.  if we could have done few small things better, I think we would have got a better result,’’ he said.

 ‘’Look, those of us who are playing, we all know our responsibility that we have to play well. It sometimes happens and sometimes doesn’t, that’s the thing but I personally think, if our applications were better in some areas, we could have gone in a better position and it is true for every department, batting, bowling, and fielding,’’ he said.
