“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.

The source further said- When Dravid joined this system, he found it a different kind of challenge, because the cricket scenario has changed a lot since his retirement.
