'Chance to prove themselves'

Sports Reporter
While India's decision to name a squad without the top players for the tour of Bangladesh this month was criticised in the Bangladesh camp -captain Mushfiqur Rahim last week had said that he did not expect India to take the series lightly - chief selector Faruque Ahmed however, sees this as a good opportunity for the Tigers to turn their fortunes.
The former Bangladesh captain reckons that the Indian team, without the likes of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and a number of other regular players, may not be able to 'handle the pressure as effectively as before'.
"I think my team should be motivated in a different way. If we feel that they [India] are not experienced enough then we should play better cricket and prove that we are a good team at least at home.
"I see this as an advantage for us.
In the record books there won't be any room to state this team was not strong. Considering the kind of form we are in, this is a good opportunity for the boys to prove themselves. In terms of the motivational aspect, I think this series can do wonders," said Faruque.
"I am not saying this is a very weak team. The only difference I expect will be in terms of their mental strength and experience. I don't think this Indian team can handle pressure the way they did before. If we can get them down to a few wickets early they don't have a Kohli or a Dhoni to come back.
"For instance despite scoring 280 in the last Asia Cup, we never looked
like winning that match. This time it may be different," he added.
That there are number of problems in the Bangladesh camp, despite Faruque's positive thoughts, is obvious from the Tigers' recent performances.
The year 2014 saw some of their game's stronger aspects become their biggest worries. The fluent start provided by Tamim Iqbal at the top and the flawless finish by Nasir Hossain at the end for instance, are key features that the team has missed this year so far.
"Just like Kohli and Dhoni for the Indian team, Nasir and Tamim have been handling the top and the end quite effectively for us. When the key players perform it's always good but yes there's always a concern when they don't. But they are classy players and they should take this opportunity to make a comeback," said Faruque.
Bangladesh A team's disappointing result against the West Indian High
Performance unit, which saw them -the side include at least five regular national players - go down by 351 runs, is a cause for concern, according to Faruque. And the problem, he says, lies in the domestic circuit.
"We selected a strong A team because we wanted these players to get adjusted to the conditions there ahead of our tour in August. If we did not have a tour I would have sent more new faces. It was an opportunity which was not put into good use by the players.
"It was difficult for them no doubt. The kind of cricket we play in our domestic circuit, where there's no favour for seam bowling and to go to a bouncy wicket from there, it was not easy.
It's high time that four-day matches here received bouncy and grassy wickets. We can only recommend this to the board, but I guess this requires a lot of work," said Faruque.
