Bangladesh's acting head coach, Courtney Walsh of West Indies, wants to play in the upcoming tri-nation Nidhaus T-20 trophy final against India in Sri Lanka. Walsh said at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium at noon, "We want to consistently play good cricket. We want to play match matches without any specific goals and plans. Our primary goal is to win as many matches as possible and to win the final game. If we can win the few matches, but it will be very big. I believe we can. '
Bangladesh could not produce good results in tri-series, Test and T20 series in January and February. However, the team in the Nidhas trophy wants to climb. For this reason, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Walsh of the West Indies bowling coach. Walsh hopes to take the team to the best level after taking responsibility. Walsh believes that the team will do well in the upcoming series, 'we are going to be the underdog. We have to play against two of the best teams. I think we have good opportunities. If we can play consistently well, we can also get into the final. Hopefully, I can do something good and play good cricket.
Bangladesh will play in the Nidhaus Trophy against strong teams such as Sri Lanka and India. Walsh told the team players to enjoy the upcoming tournament without feeling stress, 'I told the team everyone, to enjoy every match. The more successful cricket teams play in the field, the more success they can get. There is no need to take extra pressure for this. We asked everyone to enjoy the tournament. If the players give their best, then everything is possible.
Sri Lanka is organizing tri-series T-20 series at home ground on the occasion of 70 years of independence. The tri-series starts with Sri Lanka-India match on March 6. Bangladesh will start their own mission with matches against India on March 8. The final will be March 18. Before the finals, Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh will play four matches in the double league system.
