For a few days, the management of Bangladesh, the players were saying one thing over and over again, the team is going through a process. Dominant Bangladesh won the test by keeping the process straight for 5 days in a row.
If there are white elephant players like Shakib, Tamim, Mushfiqur, Mahmudullah in the team then the main focus of the media or the team is more on those players. After Mashrafe left the national team, the ego problem among the senior players became apparent. The mentality of playing as a team guiding the youth was not seen that way. Even the youth could not give confidence. Most of the time team have to rely on individual brilliance of experienced players to win matches. Also the selector problem, the pressure of the board, the bad pitch, the ego of the coach ... all of these things took the team to the bottom of their confidence.
For various reasons, team had to go to New Zealand to play Test without 3 white elephants. Yes, Mushfiqur is there, but his emotion is more than his ego, no problem When there are no white elephants in the team, then the team management again focuses on that team performance. In this match we saw the successful application of it.
Personally, it seems to me that since there are no seniors in the team, the youngsters have played with extra responsibility, they have played with courage. The coaching staff has also been able to play the youngsters according to their plan. Notably, Mushfiqur's contribution in the match is the lowest. Muminul's captaincy has improved in this match. However, he is still in the process of deciding the DRS. But his bowling changes, field setup, batting with responsibility have improved a lot. It also raises the question of whether it is difficult for him to lead a team if he has the so-called Panchpandava or the core players of the team.
The statement made by Bangladesh in Test cricket today is a foretaste of a better future. Yea, we must need Shakib and Tamim. But Khaled Mahmood has to make sure that their ego issue does not hinder the team game. As a team director, Khaled can be called extraordinary.
Joy, Shanto, Liton, Yasir, Miraj, Ebadat, Taskin, Shariful ... bunch of these youngsters brought out the match. So, we can finally say that our young players are now learning to keep our trust. They need to be given the opportunity to explore further, to maintain the continuity of their performance.
