BCB to take action for Tigers WC failure

BSS, Dhaka :
Jalal Younus, the cricket operations chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said the board would take next course of action for World Cup (WC) debacle after getting the report from head coach Chandika Hathurusingha and team director Khaled Mahmud Sujon.

Bangladesh finished eighth in the World Cup after winning just two matches from nine outings. Although they qualified for the ICC Champions Trophy, the massive failure was something which severely hurt the country’s reputation as they were eyeing a semifinal berth, given their consistent success in the ODI format.

Younus said like all others, the board also has taken the blame for the debacle but they will take necessary action to bring back the reputation.

“We all have responsibilities. We all admitted (our failure). Definitely, we all have to accept if the team does poorly. The board has to take it, my committee has to take it and it is something that we admitted,” Younus said on Saturday.

What was a spot of bother for Bangladesh was that they lost against the Netherlands too. Apart from registering two wins, they even failed to give the opponents a tough fight what further highlighted their meek surrender.
