Prothom Alo: you've got attributed fitness to your wonderful performance within the tourney, however for sure fitness is simply one amongst the factors behind your consistent excellence.
Shakib Al Hasan: Fitness and designing were each factors. I begin designing concerning the globe Cup four months before. I begin getting ready from then.
The best time was throughout IPL. as a result of I wasn’t taking part in then, I might work. Salahuddin sir (Shakib’s BKSP coach and former assistant coach of the national team) was there for 2 weeks. The one and a [*fr1] months that I practiced created a distinction. I actually have to impart my IPL coach Tom Moody. The others on the Hyderabad team additionally helped. nobody obstructed ME in any method.
Also, throughout the globe Cup my family was there. My folks additionally came. All that gave ME mental strength too. Everything was in step with set up.
Prothom Alo: so was your mental designing. What concerning your designing for the sport itself?
Shakib Al Hasan: I consulted with tons of laptop analysts from abroad and determined my weaknesses and my strengths. I assessed the various ways that the bowlers and he batsmen might be pitched against ME and planned consequently. They showed the potential spots wherever the ball might be bowled against ME which is strictly however it happened within the tourney. thus i used to be ready.
I spoke to Kumar Sangakara. i used to be ready with the bowling within the same method. He had scored tons of runs last year and within the county matches and that i learnt from him however he did thus. At the MCC meeting, Sangakara aforesaid, “The underclassman and freer that you simply are, the higher it'll be. there's no want of excessive follow. If you play well, enjoy it. Go around and luxuriate in yourself. simply provide your full attention once you play.”
Mushfique bhai additionally inspired ME tons. I had an honest understanding with him once batting at the globe Cup.
Prothom Alo: everybody aims to play well at the globe Cup. however wherever did you get such determination?
Shakib Al Hasan: The honourable prime minister ruler Hasina could be a massive issue. Once she told ME, “Look, before we might hear concerning Sachin. individuals would state Imran Khan. we have a tendency to had nobody in and of itself then, however currently we are able to state you.” Those words are carved on my mind.
I thought that i used to be fine that individuals talked concerning ME which i used to be the quantity one all rounder for therefore long, however I hadn’t done something all that spectacular. I hadn’t received that abundant acclaim within the tourney. thus once the prime minister has spoken to ME, i started brooding about extremely achieving one thing. Since the individuals believed in ME, even the prime minister, I knew it absolutely was potential. and therefore the tourney was ahead. This was a chance.
Prothom Alo: aboard your own performance, had you hoped for Bangladesh to try to to well as a team too at the globe Cup?
Shakib Al Hasan: I had perpetually believed it might be potential for U.S. to travel way now. maybe with everyone’s cooperation we have a tendency to might have gone on to the semi finals. however there are several reasons why things don’t go as they ought to.
If a player doesn’t play well, he starts brooding about himself quite about the team. that makes issues. i feel that's what happened within the case of Mashrafe bhai. once the captain doesn’t perform well, it's a bearing on himself and therefore the team. The captain needs to perform well, there's no various thereto. we have a tendency to lagged behind therein space. however even then it absolutely was not not possible. we have a tendency to began the globe Cup well, however couldn’t hold on thereto.
Prothom Alo: You had an honest likelihood of being man of the tournament within the tourney. Was that a part of the set up too?
Shakib Al Hasan: No. If there was any target, that was to play a minimum of nine to ten matches. albeit I scored fifty runs per match, that will be five hundred runs. then I might take around ten to fifteen wickets. I didn’t expect things would go thus well.
If I vie for myself, I might have maybe scored even a lot of runs. however I perpetually had the team on my mind. throughout the IPL, before the globe Cup, I detected somebody say one thing. He aforesaid that we've our own names on the rear of our jerseys and our countries’ name on the front. He said, ne'er play for the name on the rear, play for the name on the front. Those words stayed with ME. In each match once I bowled or batted, I vie for the name within the front even in the most tough circumstances
I knew I had to try to to one thing for the country once I vie Jofra Archer. Such thoughts created ME play easier. and that i suppose I ne'er Panax quinquefolius the anthem thus loud and with such a lot dedication in my life before. I had planned all this beforehand.
Prothom Alo: As a Bangladeshi players playacting thus systematically well, what reaction was there among the players and coaches of the opposite teams?
Shakib Al Hasan: They praised ME tons and that i won a lot of respect. I ne'er received such a lot respect before.
Prothom Alo: nonetheless, amidst all this there have been some controversies. You reportedly told captain Mashrafe to drop Mahmudullah from cyber web match once he bowled at a slow pace against European nation.
Shakib Al Hasan: there's nothing to cover here. Whoever rumored this or leaked this out, shouldn't have done thus. throughout the globe Cup there was a report within the media concerning Saifuddin that he was too afraid to play against massive groups. Such reports don't omen well for the team. The team members recognize alright United Nations agency gave out this news. Didn’t Saifuddin play? that's all that is got to break a team’s morale.
Prothom Alo: however once a journalist gets hold of such news, it's inevitable that he can report it.
Shakib Al Hasan: i'm not blaming the journalist. it absolutely was somebody from within that gave out this news which was dangerous. however can you get the news? only if one amongst U.S. tells you? If somebody from at intervals acts during this manner, it diminishes our probabilities of doing well. This had a bearing on our result.
First of all, I ne'er aforesaid any such factor. And albeit I did, United Nations agency can take the blame for leaky the news? we have a tendency to definitely will discuss matters among ourselves. apart from the foreign coaches, there are simply one or two of individuals United Nations agency are concerned within the team’s designing. which means somebody from among them leaked this out. United Nations agency was that? this is often not smart. Either they are doing not wish smart for the team, or don't wish smart for the player. If a player is taking part in as a replacement for AN disabled player and somebody remarks that the first player would have created such a distinction, will the replacement player perform well? The day such remarks and attitudes emerged, I knew this team wouldn't fare well within the tourney.
Prothom Alo: does one wish to specify United Nations agency was the one who leaked the within news out, or is that this simply AN assumption?
Shakib Al Hasan: it's clear that somebody United Nations agency was there from our country leaked this out. No foreign work employees would speak of this to the journalists. After all, albeit I aforesaid one thing like that to the captain, i might have aforesaid thus in Bangla.
Prothom Alo: you're currently accountable of the take a look at and sooner or later cricket and will even have to require charge of the T20 head. Are you prepared?
Shakib Al Hasan: i'm not mentally ready to require charge of take a look at or T20, however the team isn't during a good condition at this time. thus I notice if the team is to be improved to AN extent, I actually have to require on the post. Otherwise i'm not curious about post in any kind of the sport. If I don’t have post, I will consider my very own game. That too would facilitate the team. we've been captains at simply twenty to twenty two years previous. they're currently around twenty six. till and unless you provide them the responsibility, however can they ascertain their own potential?
There is the take a look at championship and therefore the T20 tourney ahead. we should always set up for consequent four years from currently.
