T20 World Cup: Would've Batted First Vs India, But Captain & Coach Did Otherwise, Reveals Shakib
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium: After suffering a 50-run defeat to India in their Super Eights match of 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, veteran left-arm spin all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan said he would have preferred to see Bangladesh electing to bat first, instead of captain Najmul Hossain Shanto deciding to bowl.
"Personally if you ask me in the Caribbean it's one or two games - when England chased that 180. Other than that batting first has been the trend for most of the teams and they have been very successful. So, if you look at the stats, ideally you would have batted first, but maybe the captain and coach thought otherwise," said Shakib in the post-match press conference.
Asked on whether his viewpoint was taken in by the team management, Shakib replied he wasn’t. "No, I don't have any part or role in this. These are not the issues of experience or seniority. When there is a leader, a captain, it's his decision. If we would do well, the credit would go to the captain. If we did bad, we question the decision of the coach and captain. It's normal. It seems very reasonable to me.
