There is no excuse, but there is regret in the heart
Tawhid Hriday came to the press conference at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium after scoring a career-high 63 runs in T20 Internationals. But his eyes are dark. The huge loss of 133 runs by the Bangladesh team in the last match of the T20 series against India seems to have broken this young batsman. It can be guessed how the press conference will be in such a mindset. Hriday did the same when he came to the press conference like the helpless surrender of the Bangladesh team in the field game. As he explained the loss, he said, 'To be honest, a very good wicket for batting. We did not bowl well. We can improve in some areas. Hopefully we can do that.' Later he added, 'We did not play the ball well. Just don't say, I didn't bat well in the whole series. We need to improve in some areas in batting, bowling, fielding. They batted very well. We could have done better.
The failure of the top order batsmen is also mentioned in his words, 'Look, every team gets runs from the top order. If the runs come there, the innings naturally increases. If a big run comes from the top four, then the run is 180. All in all we have a lot of room for improvement. We have a lot to learn in this series. I hope I can do that.'
Hridoy also accepted their shortcomings throughout the series, 'There were shortages everywhere. One day the batting is good, the bowling is not good, if the bowling is good, then the batting is good. We don't actually play on this kind of wicket. I'm not making excuses. But the more we play on such wickets, the better we will play.'
When asked about the difference in strength between the two teams on flat wickets, Hriday's reply was, 'I wouldn't say our standard is too low. We played with big teams. India is a strong team. Their home game. They are all good. They are also ahead in terms of skills. I would not say that we are far behind. The more we play, the better we will understand how we can play on flat wickets.'
In this case, Hridoy thinks that India is an ideal example, 'India can be an example for us. How to play on flat wickets…planning well.'
Hriday did not want to go with IPL as compared to BPL. On the contrary, he said about being behind in his skills, 'I don't want to compare BPL with IPL. Not only about the wickets, we also need to improve our skills.'
The ability to read wickets should also be improved. A tone of regret was also heard in Hridiya's voice, 'Most of us players cannot read wickets. We play most of the matches in Mirpur. If I play in Chittagong, I know what kind of wicket it will be. But other places have different wickets every day. If we keep playing good wickets, we can improve day by day. It won't happen overnight.'
