DHAKA, June 2, 2025 (BSS)-Bangladesh skipper Liton Das apologized to the fans 
for their disappointing performance in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and 
Pakistan tour but vowed to turn the things around by learning from their 
mistakes.

The UAE series marked the journey of Liton as permanent captain but it was 
all bitter memory for him as Bangladesh suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to the 
ICC associate nation. Later Liton's side tasted a series whitewash to 
Pakistan, meaning they won just one match in six games.

The wayward performance also put an adverse impact on their rankings as they 
slipped to 10th in T20 format.

"I am sorry to Bangladesh fans that we couldn't win any game (in Pakistan 
series) but hopefully we will make a comeback (by learning from our 
mistakes)," Liton said.

"We didn't bowl well and didn't field well in last two games but we batted 
well on this track (in the third T20)," he added. 

Liton laid emphasize on learning the arts of bowling to different batters, 
according to the condition and match situation. 

"It's a good wicket, but we need to learn how to bowl to different batters 
and need to think about that."

Bangladesh suffered a 37-run and 57-run defeat in the first two matches, 
without showing any proper resistance. 

In the third game, they though batted well and put up 196-6, the bowlers 
couldn't show enough skill to defend that total.

However, amid the disappointment, Liton found positive in openers in Parvez 
Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan Tamim.

The opening pair that was long termed as Bangladesh's weakest link since the 
retirement of Tamim Iqbal, played reasonably well to give the side a hope.

"They (Tanzid and Emon) batted really well and most of the guys put up their 
hands and did a good job. The crowds were very amazing. They supported both 
teams."
