Head Coach Simmons Urges Bangladesh Young Pacers To Step Up Against Pakistan
Tanzim Hasan Sakib: Bangladesh’s T20I preparations for the away series against Pakistan have taken a significant hit, with both premier fast bowlers — Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed — ruled out due to injury. But head coach Phil Simmons is determined to turn the crisis into opportunity, urging his young pace attack to rise to the occasion when the three-match series gets underway in Lahore on May 28.
Mustafizur sustained a thumb injury in his final game for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025. Taskin, meanwhile, continues to recover from an ankle injury that has kept him out of action for over two months. Their absence leaves a glaring hole in Bangladesh’s bowling arsenal, traditionally the team’s stronger suit in the T20 format.
“You miss your senior seamers. As we saw, how Fizz was bowling in the IPL then. We will miss him,” Simmons said after the team’s practice session at Gaddafi Stadium on Monday. “But it is also a chance for somebody to take his place in this series. Let’s hope one of the bowlers decides that he wants to fill in for Fizz.”
