The national team stars, who are not playing franchise cricket outside the country, will join Bangladesh Tigers or partake in individual sessions following their break as per team management’s plans as the focus shifts back to red-ball cricket with the two-Test tour to Pakistan in August coming up. 

BCB's chief physician, Debashish Chowdhury, confirmed the development to The Daily Star.

What happens inside the team environment usually stays out of public knowledge, but this time the news about Taskin was leaked quite some time after the World Cup game in question.

The leggie grabbed 14 wickets in seven matches in competition, finishing as Bangladesh’s most successful bowler in the competition, and joint third overall in the tournament.

As another discussion follows on performances, will BCB this time be relieved with having made the second stage, or will they form another probe committee?

The truth is, the Tigers have exceeded pre-tournament expectations. Yet, at the same time, they have left fans bitterly disappointed.

The Tigers remain the only team to have participated in all nine editions of the T20 World Cup without reaching the semi-finals.

The manner of their exit from the global event has left fans disconsolate and experts baffled.

Following the red-ball format, Bangladesh A will play a fifty-over tri-series with Pakistan Shaheens and Northern Territory of Australia.

In a game where the batting order had to be shuffled to make the chase in 12.1 overs, Bangladesh resorted to normalcy.

As it stands, Afghanistan have the best chance to move into the last-four stage, whereas the odds are stacked the heaviest for Bangladesh.

What coach Chandika Hathurusingha said at the press conference on Wednesday may not reflect the team’s overall sentiment, but it remains to be seen whether it can ignite the passion required for the task ahead.

It was an easy presumption to put Bangladesh’s bowling as their main weapon ahead of the T20 World Cup, especially since the batters have provided very little to be excited about in recent times.

Hafeez noted Bangladesh's "right body language and character" throughout the ninth edition of the main event.

With the Super 8s berth, the Tigers also secured a direct qualification for the 2026 T20 World Cup, to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

All they required was for Shakib Al Hasan to provide that spark.

Shakib hit an undefeated 64 and was ultimately adjudged Player of the Match in Kingstown.

Bangladesh have used three different opening pairs within the last six matches, and seven pairs within a year.

South Africa virtually clinched a place in the Super Eight stage as spinner Keshav Maharaj defended 11 runs off the final over to help secure a nail-biting four-run victory over Bangladesh in a low-scoring Group D clash on Monday.

Bangladesh’s win over Sri Lanka may not have been entirely convincing but it has already put the Tigers in a favourable position in the race to Super 8s.
