“Are You Sure We’re Playing the World Cup?”: Liton Das Sparks Bangladesh T20 WC Debate
Litton Das on T20 World Cup: Bangladesh captain Liton Das has broken his silence on the team's participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup, making a surprising statement. This is his first statement on the matter since Rangpur's loss to Sylhet Titans in the qualifier match.
Bangladesh T20 World Cup participation: Bangladesh captain Liton Das finally reacts to their involvement in the T20 World Cup and gives a surprising press conference statement. This is the first reaction from Liton since Rangpur’s defeat to Sylhet Titans in the T20 World Cup qualifier match. Sylhet only had to score 112 runs to win the match but managed to do so on the last ball when they scored a six from Chris Woakes. After Rangpur’s defeat and subsequent exit from the tournament, Liton Das conducted a press conference where he was asked about the quality of the slow pitches of the BPL to prepare for the T20 World Cup. Liton responded directly, "Are you sure we're going to play in the World Cup?"
Liton said, "There's still a long way to go before the World Cup, and we're not even sure if we'll even go." Regarding the slow wicket in the qualifiers, he said, "It's by no means ideal for T20 cricket. We expected a much better wicket for a qualifier match."
When asked if the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had discussed the World Cup decision with him, Liton flatly denied it. When asked if such a discussion should have taken place, given he is the T20I captain, he replied, "I don't know, but it hasn't happened with me."
