Sohan attends Bangla Wash tri-nation trophy unveiling programme

Agency :
The tri-nation series between New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh has been named as the Bangla Wash T20I tri-nation series.
Bangladesh wicket-keeper batter Nurul Hasan Sohan was present at the trophy unveiling event with the other two captains Babar Azam and Kane Williamson.
Sohan attended in the absence of Shakib al Hasan, who is yet to join the squad in New Zealand. Shakib skipped the Tigers’ previous two-match T20I series against the UAE as the all-rounder was playing in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
Bangladesh batting coach Jamie Siddons believes the tri-nation series is the best preparation platform for his side for the upcoming T20 World Cup as they will be playing against two strong opponents in challenging condition in this series.

He thinks if Bangladesh can do well, this will benefit them in the Australian condition, which mostly resembles New Zealand wicket.
“Playing here is really very good, we can’t ask for anything better. New Zealand is the finalist of the last world cup and Pakistan is obviously a fantastic T20 side. The wickets are challenging and that will help us ready to go all the way to the World Cup,” Siddons said in a video message sent by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Wednesday.
Bangladesh have still been a vulnerable team in T20 cricket as they are yet to compete with the big teams. However, before going to New Zealand, Bangladesh played two matches against United Arab Emirates (UAE) and won those two which boosted their confidence to some extent.
“We are going right, just coming from Dubai, after playing a couple of good games against UAE and a week’s practice at their facilities which were fantastic. We are pretty young team, some of the seniors are retired or not on this tour. It’s a young team and we are very excited about them, they got a bit of learning curb, let’s see how they do against two pretty strong teams here.”
