Team first for Pybus

Sports Reporter
Richard Pybus, the new Bangladesh coach, has said that he will build a strong team which will focus on playing for the country and each other rather than individuals.
In his first official press conference at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday, Pybus was flanked by BCB president AHM Mustafa Kamal, acting CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury and media committee chairman Jalal Yunus, after being introduced to the board directors who had gathered for a meeting.
The 47-year-old Englishman has had his international experience with Pakistan in two stints during the last decade. During his stays with the former world champions, Pybus had to deal with several superstars in a line-up, something that he's notin favour of.
"I think that's usually a contradic-
tion: if you got stars, you don't have a team," he said. "I think the goal is to have a very strong team where the players are playing for each other."
"It is important to have focus where we leave our egos to one side and playing for the badge, country and making that the commitment. Again, in coaching experience, when you have a star system, you've got problems,” he added.
Having signed a two-year contract, Pybus said that he would definitely like to see the Tigers as a mid-table side in the world rankings but it will be done by creating opportuni ties for the players.
"First it is to go up the rankings methodically. We have to climb that ladder and there'll be work put into that across the different formats.
''There'll be good strategic longterm planning, so creating enough challenges for the players is important. Even for those on the fringe, we have to create opportunity there. The goal will be going towards mid-table,” he said, though he stopped short of naming
teams he would want to slay.
"I don't want to make any big statements because I'm aware of the challenge, and I'm aware of what's happened before," said Pybus.
He was also aware of the gaps that Bangladesh usually have to endure to play Test matches, saying that the longer version is his favoured format and he is looking at Test cricket to build the team.
"With regards to the Test side, it is about getting 20 wickets and being able to set up totals and chase down totals. When I talk about talent, I take it as a given anywhere around the world. It is about maximising the talent.
"Across all formats, Test cricket is really the tree that grows your players. For me, Test cricket is the jewel in the crown. I am looking forward to playing stronger nations in Tests, that’s the bottom line. As we work through the cricketing schedule, we have to make sure that we do everything in our power
to be fully prepared," he said.
His first assignment will be the unofficial tri-series in Zimbabwe which also involves South Africa, and Pybus was happy to get his troops around him during his first days in charge.
"It is always nice to get away with a group of players rather than play at home, the distractions you have when you're at home.
"It will be an opportunity for players to play high-level cricket and it'll be an opportunity for me to see how the team works.
"I don't want to change anything until I find out how it works. It's a fantastic opportunity for me to spend time with the boys, which I wouldn't get naturally playing at home," he said.
BCB chief Kamal also assured Pybus that he will be able to work independently.
"We have told him that the board will not interfere in his work. He can design everything according to his wish. If the board feels everything is okay, he can work properly. We will give him all-out support," he said.
