“We cannot follow England’s “Bazball”, we have played only 2 matches…” – Bangladeshi player Zakir Hasan made a big statement
England has a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new – Zakir Hasan Zakir Hasan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Bangladesh cricket team is going to tour India in September for a two-match Test series. Before this tour, the team’s opening batsman Zakir Hasan has made a big statement about the team’s performance in Tests. Let us tell you, Bangladesh’s performance in ICC tournaments has been very disappointing, and the team is not showing anything special in Tests either. Last year, the team played only four Test matches, out of which it won one and lost three. The players have been facing a lot of criticism due to poor batting in Tests. We play two matches in a series- Zakir Hasan Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan says that they cannot follow England’s ‘Bazball’ approach, because the English team plays four to five matches in a Test series. And Bangladesh plays only two matches in a series. Hasan has called it a matter of concern. Talking to Cricbuzz, Zakir Hasan said, As a cricketer, it matters more to me how I help the team with my performance than playing beautiful shots. As you said about playing for a long time in Tests, England may play one way. But if you analyze, the way other teams play Tests around the world, batsmen take time to score runs. See, England have a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new. Zakir Hasan further said, We don’t have a chance, we play two matches in a series and then we play after one, two or three months. So I think we have less chance than them (England) to implement it in international matches. But if you see the way cricket is being played overall, if we play cricket in that manner then it will be good for us.
“I never played cricket for captaincy”- Big statement by Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) While talking to the media in Karachi, Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi said that at this time his priority is to win matches for Pakistan rather than wanting to become the captain. Actually Shaheen Afridi was appointed Pakistan’s T20I captain after Babar Azam left the captaincy. Meanwhile, Afridi has stressed that captaincy is not in my hands, performing well is in my hands. Shaheen Afridi gave a big statement regarding the captaincy controversy (Shaheen Afridi Captaincy) When Shaheen Afridi was asked about captaincy on Khel Shell, he said, ‘For me, Pakistan comes first, then my team and then lastly I myself. I don’t think much about the past, my job is to stay in the present. If your present is good, then you can be fully prepared for the future. Captaincy is not in my hands. Shaheen further said, ‘I have never played cricket for captaincy in my career, I honestly just want to play for Pakistan, which I will do.’ Under Afridi’s captaincy, Pakistan lost the series against New Zealand 1-4. At the same time, a few months before the 2024 T20 World Cup, the captaincy was taken away from Shaheen and given back to Babar. Under Babar’s captaincy, the Pakistan team could not progress beyond the league round. There were many reports regarding the T20 World Cup, which claimed that the Pakistan team was divided into factions. There was a lot of discord between Shaheen and captain Babar. There was also news about Shaheen that he had misbehaved with the support staff. At the same time, in the ODI World Cup 2023, the Pakistan team also failed to reach the semi-finals.

India played a great style of cricket in the T20 World Cup: Brett Lee
Brett Lee and Team India Former cricketer Brett Lee congratulated the Indian team for their success and said that the Men in Blue played perfect cricket in the mega tournament (T20 World Cup) held in USA and West Indies. Under the able leadership of Rohit Sharma, India became the champion of this tournament without losing in the tournament. Australian fast bowler Brett Lee was very impressed with this record of Team India and he said that India is looking very strong in the World Cup right now. Along with this, he has also praised the captain for leading the team. Let us tell you that after the T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja have retired from this format. What did Brett Lee say about Team India’s performance in the World Cup- “Many congratulations to India. First of all, I would like to say that I really enjoyed seeing the happiness and the emotion on the faces of all the Indian cricketers. Virat and Rohit have moved beyond the game.” “One thing I would say is that India played the perfect style of cricket in the T20 World Cup. Honestly, they looked like a strong side. Many congratulations to Rohit Sharma and the Indian team. They were playing on the front foot in the tournament.” Who will become the next captain of Team India? The question is why will there be a captain for Team India’s T20 format? It is being speculated that the team’s vice-captain Hardik Pandya may be given the command. But now the name of a new player has come up on whom the BCCI itself is considering. Rohit Sharma was rested after India’s ODI World Cup campaign. Meanwhile, Suryakumar successfully led the national T20 team. The BCCI wants Suryakumar Yadav to remain their captain. Now a BCCI source has given a statement regarding the upcoming captain- “It is a delicate matter. Hardik’s fitness is an issue but he has played a big role in India’s recovery from the ICC crisis. As far as Suryakumar is concerned, we have received feedback from the team that his captaincy style has been well appreciated by the dressing room.”
