The BCB’s Cricket Operations President Jalal Younis has said that Bangladesh coaches will have to do more to “convert” their players to be more aggressive in limited-overs cricket.
Bangladesh is being criticized:-
Bangladesh is under criticism for losing both the T20I and ODI series against Zimbabwe. The concerns about his performance in the 50-over format aren’t serious – it’s his first loss in six series – but his 20-over form has inspired some serious introspection.

“The support staff is very dedicated but maybe their coaching style is different,” said Younus. “Some coaches are aggressive, some coaches are not aggressive.
You talk about Chandika Hathurusingha [who coached Bangladesh from 2014 to 2017]. He has the aggressive style that we need.
Head coach Russell Domingo is very knowledgeable:-
Our head coach Russell Domingo is a very knowledgeable coach, but he is not that aggressive. We want that aggression.
“We had a very precise plan, which we wanted to implement in Zimbabwe. Maybe the guys we picked didn’t do well but we are not disappointed.”
Younis also said that Bangladesh will announce their squad for the Asia Cup this week after seeking additional time from the Asian Cricket Council.
The BCB’s No 1 choice to take charge:-
With Nurul still being sidelined, there are also question marks on who will also captain the team.
It has been reported that Shakib Al Hasan is BCB’s No 1 choice to step up and take charge.
“We have a long injury list. Liton is injured. Mohammed Saifuddin is still working on his fitness. Yasir Ali is still not fit.

Mustafizur Rahman has some pain. We want to submit a certain team that is injured-free. We have World Cup preparations after the Asia Cup, so want to have a similar set of players. That’s why we are taking our time,” Yunus said.
