Simmons Wants Bangladesh To Get Into A '50-over Mentality' For Champions Trophy
Bangladesh Premier League: Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons has asserted that his team needs to switch to a 50-over mindset for the ICC Champions Trophy. The teams participating in the eight-team competition are playing the bilateral ODI series to prepare for the marquee tournament. On the other hand, Bangladesh are heading into the tournament after participating in the Bangladesh Premier League, the country's sole franchise-based T20 competition.
"I agree that it is not the best preparation. But they were playing white-ball cricket, which means that they are sharp skills-wise. We have to get their mind up to 50-over cricket in the next six or seven days. They have the skills. They are performing. It is about getting to that 50-over mentality now," Simmons told reporters on Monday.
"We will have double practice sessions in the next couple of days. We bat and bowl in the morning and then do the same under the lights. We are getting ourselves prepared to bat for 50 overs," he said.
