The Tigers left Dhaka last night for Trinidad to play their last tournament before the ICC World Twenty20, which will be held in Sri Lanka from September 18.
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim echoed the sentiments of his teammates and coach Richard Pybus while talking with the reporters at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport before the team departure.
Both the coach and his teammates have been focusing on the team's good preparation ahead of the T20's mega event for last couple of days and Mushfiqur did nothing different.
“We must ensure that we keep the momentum before the World Cup, so the four-nation T20 tournament in West Indies is important for us. Everybody is confident because we have played a number of T20 matches in the last couple of months. The preparation is really fantastic for us,” said Mushfiqur.
The Tigers, who will play the Trinidad Quadrangular T20 competition under the banner of BCB XI, will play a practice match against a local selection on September 5 before taking on Barbados on September 6. They will play their second game against
Afghanistan on September 7 and play their third and final match against Trinidad & Tobago on September 8 at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain. They will then head directly for Sri Lanka on September 9 to take part in the ICC World T\venty20.
“We are not going to the World Cup as a favourite but we are very much capable of pulling off a surprise in the tournament. I think we have got enough matches before the World Cup to know the craft of the game. Definitely New Zealand and Pakistan are two tough teams but we have the ability to beat them,” said a confident Mushfiqur.
Bangladesh has been placed in Group D along with New Zealand and Pakistan in the ICC World Twenty20. The Tigers will take on New Zealand on September 21 before meeting Pakistan on September 25. Both matches will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
“The SLPL experience will help us. My observation is that pace bowlers will get assistance from the pitch of the Pallekele. so we have to think about this matter seriously. Anyway now we have to focus on the tournament in West Indies and after that the two warm-up matches in Sri Lanka,” said Mushfiqur.
Before the group matches, Mushfiqur Rahim's men will play two practice gamesagainst Zimbabwe on September 15 and against Ireland on September 17 in Colombo.
