Bangladesh made a big movie by signing former Indian allrounder Sridharan Sriram as a technical consultant for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. As per reports, Sriram will join the Bangladesh squad in Guwahati on September 27, just before their warm-up matches.
Sriram’s role in the Bangladesh Cricket Team:
Ahead of this World Cup, he joined as a technical consultant. But earlier in 2022, he played the technical consultant role for the Bangladesh Cricket Team in the time of the Asia Cup in UAE. He was also the head coach of Bangladesh in the T20s. He took Bangladesh to the T20 World Cup in Australia.
BCB Cricket chairman Jalal Younis believes that Sriram will give valuable input to the team which will play an important role in the World Cup. He said,” Sriram has joined as the technical consultant. We will get a lot of technical support from him.” Later he added,” He knows all the wickets in India. He can tell us about the weather conditions too. Very few of our players have played in India, so his input will be quite important.”
Bangladesh’s condition ahead of the World Cup:
Asia Cup 2023 has just finished. India finishes on the top. But Bangladesh’s performance in the group stage was average. They played two matches and ended up winning only one. In the Super4 stage, Bangladesh didn’t perform well. In that stage, they played three matches and faced loss in two of them. They won the match against India by six runs. In that Shakib Al Hasan played a responsible inning of 80 runs. That inning helped them to win the match.
World Cup 2023 will raise curtains on October 5. But Bangladesh will start the campaign by playing two warm matches. On September 29, Bangladesh will face Sri Lanka in the first warm-up match in Guwahati. On October 2, Bangladesh will face England in Guwahati again.
However, Bangladesh will start its main World Cup journey on October 7, against Afghanistan at Dharamshala. On November 6, they will play their last group-stage match against Sri Lanka in Delhi. It is a new edition of the World Cup. A lot of new chances are there. On November 19, a new World Champion will be declared.
