Well! Will a T20 series win at home against Zimbabwe send the Tigers the wrong message at the World Cup? Will Nazmul Hussain Shanta’s team start thinking of themselves as a much stronger, prosperous team after losing the very weak Zimbabweans?

Past history says so. Last time before the World Cup, Bangladesh went to play the T20 World Cup thinking that they were true tigers after defeating teams like Australia and New Zealand on home ground with wheelbarrow speed and low bounce and a little spin supporting wickets; But going there, the tigers turned into tigers in Kaguje.

This time a monopoly victory over the weak and worn-out Zimbabweans will inspire the same feeling among Shant, Hriday, Zaker Ali Onik, Taskin, Rishad, Saifuddin and Mehdi?

Taskin, the main strike bowler of the Bangladesh team, thinks, Nah! It won’t. His explanation, ‘No fake confidence. If you play well, confidence boosts anywhere.’

While thinking that this performance in the T20 World Cup in the USA will give the team a mental boost, Taskin knows the environment is completely different. So the saying goes, ‘Considering the condition, we don’t know what the condition of the United States will be like. Mostly played on drop-in wickets. I am sure most of our players have little experience playing there.

After going there, you have to adapt. We play and must play in Bangladesh. We can not change the condition! If there were a little more sporting conditions, then maybe it would be better; But still we have to play good cricket.Taskin also added, ‘Another thing is that, when I go to USA, I will have to adapt to the new conditions. One good thing is that we will play three matches there against USA. A little early adjustment help can be found there.
