Tamim Iqbal urges players to lift their fielding
|| CF DESK ||
Bangladesh all set to face Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series which is slated to begin from May 23. Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal said that he is worried about the fielding of the side against Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh started the year with an ODI series win against the West Indies at home. However, their performance dropped against the New Zealand because of the sloppy fielding.
Also, durng the Test series against Sri Lanka, fielders were seen making the same mistakes. Tamim is concerned about facing the Lankans in the field, however e hopes that after a few days of practice, his team has resolved the fielding problem.
" This is probably the one part that I am worried the most. If you have seen us in the last five months, fielding is the area, more than batting and bowling, where we have lost matches,” Iqbal told ESPNcricinfo.
“The two Tests at home or the second ODI in New Zealand, the key moments were [related to] the fielding. Everybody sees what we are doing on game day but hardly anyone sees what we are doing in training. I think we are training extremely hard to get better,” He added
Bangladesh's captain not all the players are good fielders in his side. By performing to the best of their abilities they can lead the team to victory.
"Each and every one of us wants to get better but we are making those mistakes in the key moments. Just like every other team, I feel that not all our fielders are brilliant fielders,”
“We just have to make sure that according to our capability, whoever is fielding in those positions, do their best. They take those chances. They take a brilliant catch, get a brilliant run-out. If we start doing that, it will help us more with winning games." He ended.
