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."
