Bangladesh won the T20 series against Pakistan at home. However, Sher-e-Bangla’s wicket has come under criticism after each match. The Pakistan captain recently spoke about the wicket in a press conference after the last match yesterday.
In this context, Salman Ali Agha said, “I didn’t say anything about the wicket. I just said it’s not an ideal wicket for our preparation for the Asia Cup and World Cup. I have no problem with the wicket. As international cricketers and a team, we have to adapt to it and perform wherever we go or whether we get wickets.”
He added, “We could not execute our plan in the first two matches. If they ask me about the preparations for the Asia Cup and the World Cup, I will say that it is not an ideal wicket for the kind of preparation we want to do. I don’t think we will get a pitch like this anywhere in the future.”
Salman said that he had not seen such a wicket before, “I don’t think we will get such conditions anywhere in the future. I have played in many places but I have not seen a wicket like the conditions in Bangladesh. I don’t think it will be very useful for preparation. But we have to go and perform in all conditions. We could not perform as we should have in this series.”
