On the condition of anonymity, a BCCI official verified to Cricbuzz that Taskin missed the bus because he was unable to get up in time from his slumber. After Taskin missed the team bus and Bangladesh had to play with just two pacers, certain concerns were voiced.
Questions were raised about Taskin’s commitment to the national cricket team and the kind of excuse he gave for missing the crucial match against India.
According to what Cricbuzz also knows, the BCB official was not answering Taskin’s phone, thus the board opted to retain him at the team hotel. There are other rumors that Chandika Hathurusingha, the coach of Bangladesh, did not want him to select in the starting eleven. The BCB official, however, views this differently.
“It is true that he (Taskin) joined the team later after missing the team bus. But why he did not play only the coach can say because whether he was in the plan or not (against India) is something that can be answered by the head coach (Chandika Hathurusingha),” said the official on Monday.

“If there was any issue (between coach and the player) how he played the next game against Afghanistan. He apologized to his teammates and everyone for not being able to get up on time and that’s it and no need to make an issue out of it,” the BCB official further added.
Meanwhile, Taskin criticized the Bangladesh batters for their early exit from the tournament. Their batters were not able to resist the pressure from teams like Australia and South Africa. Bangladesh’s loss to Afghanistan chasing just 116 to win was a major disappointment. They were bowled out for 105 in the chase.

“I haven’t seen such a long bad patch for the batters in my 10 years playing for Bangladesh. I hope it goes away quickly. We never had great numbers in T20s. We are improving slowly” said Taskin.
Bangladesh defeated South Africa in their group stage matches, but defeated Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the Netherlands. They lost against Australia, India, and Afghanistan in the Super S, despite having qualified. Bangladesh’s loss to Afghanistan knocked Australia out of the tournament as India and Afghanistan qualified for the semi-final from Group 1.
