Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe said that he is disappointed with the way Bangladesh fielded throughout the tournament and added bowling was pretty ordinary during their just-concluded World Cup campaign.

 Bangladesh fielding remained a major area of concern as their ground fielding always allowed their opponent to add 20 to 30 odd runs to their total while dropping catches and missing run outs remained a  regular feature in every match.

 ‘’We missed some catches when we needed to take that, we bowled badly when we needed to bowl well, we didn’t step up in these areas. Obviously, little things make a huge difference, that's for sure. I would say some matches was really costing us that fielding, ground fielding, obviously, because being as a bowler, when you stop runs, that sort of wicket, bowlers boost up a lot, which has not been happening when they make, any teams make partnership, we get down and down,’’ Mashrafee told reporters in the post-match.

‘’In bowling, we couldn’t pick up early wickets in the first 10-15 or 20 overs in most of the matches including me and others. I personally think I should think about this matter personally as I operate in this role. It’s my responsibility,’’ he said in a tone that proves he is admitting that he failed to deliver picking up only one wicket in seven-eight matches.

‘’First thing that, obviously, going forward, Bangladesh need to concern about -- if you're asking this sort of tournament, like World Cup, Champions Trophy, or maybe T-20 World Cup is coming, that sort of tournament, obviously bowling is a big issue, if we play in this part because this part is always flat. But if we play in Asia, I think it will be a far better bowling site than what we are in here,’’ he said.
